Home Alone Workshop

Winter Kids Programming is now underway and will reopen for next year on Nov 24th, 2025 @6:30am. Program details are viewable below and are subject to change prior to Nov 1st, 2025.

The activities below require registration & fees apply. The Recreation Membership is not a pre-requisite to enroll in Kids Programming.


 

The Home Alone Safety for Kids program helps children and families prepare for their child's first step toward independence and feeling safe and comfortable without adult supervision for short periods. This program is suitable for children ages 9 to 13 and common themes include safety and accident prevention.

We are proud to share that our Home Alone Safety for Kids program is facilitated with the SOS 4 Kids Home Alone Program. Our facilitators have completed the course and deliver the material with a flexible curriculum, including experiential activities and games. 

This program is only offered during the fall.

What Participants Have Said...

My son loved it! He was super excited sharing what he learned. During Sunday dinner, my youngest was shaking his body while eating green peas and Davi said: "Stop! Choking hazard!"
Great job, Brooklyn and Colin (Home Alone Facilitators)!
