Green Shack Programs

Main page content begins here

Get active and join us for games, sports, crafts, music, drama and special events this summer. The Green Shack program is a free drop-in program catered to children ages 6 to 12; however, all are welcome.

Every summer, program leaders host games, challenges and activities that are sure to get kids active and having fun. A list of activities and special events will be posted on the side of the Green Shack each week. No registration is needed — all activities are free drop-in!

Hours

Green Shack locations operate half-days and can be open:

In the morning from 10:30am-1:30pm
In the afternoon from 2:30-5:30pm

Full-day hours are available at some sites. Check the map for hours and the current status.

Poor Air Quality or Extreme Weather

Programming is available rain or shine, but may be cancelled during severe weather. Some green shack locations will move indoors to partnering Community League buildings when the air quality is 7 or higher.

In partnership with the Edmonton Arts Council, join us at Green Shacks throughout July and August for free concerts and performances, 5 days a week across the city. Performances are daily at 11am and at 2:30pm.

Program Leaders

Program leaders are easily identified by their blue shirts and may be assisted by volunteer leaders in training. All leaders:

Have completed a security clearance process, are trained in first aid, and are certified specialists in fun!
Ensure participants play safely (Parents are responsible for their children at all times and must be available in the event of an emergency)

If there is a game or activity that piques your child's interest that you would like to have included in the programming, ask the program leader.

Note: Children under 6 years of age can still participate if they have a parent or guardian with them.
