Summer Stage

Summer stage will take place at the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre, home of GCTC at 1233 Wellington St. West. Occasional trips may be made off-site to nearby parks.

Each session of Summer Stage is 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. (Except the week of August 5th. The August 6th sessions begin on Tuesday due to the Civic Holiday on Monday, August 5th.)

Your child may be dropped off anytime between 8:30am and 9:00am (Monday-Friday). Registrants will not be permitted to sign in before this timeframe.

Your child may be picked up anytime between 4:00pm and 4:30pm. Failure to collect the participant within this timeframe may result in additional fees being charged, as staff/supervisors are not on premises after this time frame, and additional childcare provisions will need to be made.

If you need to drop off earlier, or pick up later, pre-camp and/or post- camp care is available for an additional fee.

To help accomodate parent schedules, we are adding the option of earlier drop off and later pickup times, for an additional fee.

For $50/week, you can drop off your child as early as 8 AM.

Or, for $50/week you can pick up as late as 5 PM.
