Your child's ideas and interests shape the week. Our Emergent Curriculum means the program evolves with the group — when kids are invested in what they're doing, summer feels like an adventure, not a schedule.
Unlike single-focus camps, our summer covers it all: sports, arts, science, outdoor adventures, and creative play. Your child doesn't have to choose between being an athlete, an artist, or an explorer — they get to be all of them.
Our licensed event space and dedicated indoor and outdoor play areas mean bigger games, more movement-based activities, and group experiences that actually feel like summer camp should.
Our team includes Early Childhood Educators who know how to create an environment where children feel safe, included, and genuinely excited to participate. Your child is in experienced, caring hands.
Your child stays cool and comfortable all summer long. Our entire facility is fully air-conditioned — so whether it's a heat wave or a humid afternoon, the fun never has to stop.

Supervisor, Long Branch
Your child's summer is led by one of Rec Room's most experienced program leaders. Kelly started her career at our Royal York location, where she quickly moved from assistant to teacher to assistant supervisor. She then took on the role of supervisor at our Mimico location, overseeing its launch and day-to-day operations. Now at Long Branch, she's bringing that same proven track record, passion for programming, and commitment to quality.
Kelly is a certified Early Childhood Educator with years of experience creating programs where children thrive. She's the kind of leader who knows every child's name by the end of day one.

We know that choosing summer care for your youngest child is a big decision. You want to know they'll be safe, cared for, and genuinely happy. At Rec Room, our Kindergarten program is built around exactly that.
Your child will be cared for by educators who know how to make younger children feel safe, included, and excited to participate. We create warm, structured routines that give children the security they need — while leaving plenty of room for exploration, creative play, and discovery.
Our Kindergarten environment is designed so children quickly connect with each other through group play, creative activities, and shared routines. By the end of the first week, your child will feel right at home — with a whole group of friends they can't wait to see each morning.

school-age · ages 6–10
Your child gets to be an athlete, an artist, a scientist, and an explorer — all in one summer. Our School-Age program is packed with themed weeks that keep things fresh and exciting, from high-energy outdoor challenges to creative performances and hands-on experiments.
Every week brings a different adventure. Field trips, team games, group challenges, creative showcases — the kind of experiences that turn an ordinary Tuesday into a story worth telling at dinner.
The themed weeks are built around group challenges, team games, and shared adventures. Your child will be making friends from day one — and by the end of summer, they'll have a crew of friends and a collection of stories they'll be talking about well into September.

looking ahead
Summer families get an inside track. By September, your child already knows the staff, has a group of friends, and feels at home — no first-day anxiety, no adjustment period. That head start matters.
Our before- and after-school program runs year-round with the same educators your child spends the summer with. We're walking distance from local schools, so pickup and drop-off are seamless. Summer families will be the first to hear when September registration opens.

From team games to creative challenges, everything is done together. By the end of week one, your child will have a whole new crew.

No — summer and September are separate registrations. Kindergarten and School-Age enrollment ends at the end of June, and families need to re-register for the fall. But summer is a great way to experience Rec Room first, and summer families will be among the first to hear about September plans.
