Description:

The Chisholm Summer Recreation Program (CSRP) provides a variety of social and recreational activities for youth in Chisholm and the surrounding communities. CSRP was established to give Chisholm area youth a unique opportunity to participate in fun, physical, adventurous, and creative activities for several weeks in the summer, guided by older teens and adults. The Chisholm Curling Club is the home base for CSRP. Youth entering grades 2 and up are eligible to participate in M-TH programming beginning in the middle of June for 7 weeks. CSRP is open from 9AM to 4PM and offers field trips, recreational activities, and crafts. Participants can be droped off at 9AM (ideally before 10AM), and pick up no later than 4PM.

CSRP incorporates a point system into the program to encourage attendance and participation. Participants with the highest points are eligible to attend an incentive field trip the last week of program. Families must provide their own packed lunches daily. Participants in grades 4+ are able to leave program on their own to go home for lunch or to the store. Participants entering grades 2-3 must be accompanied by a staff member to leave the Curling Club. 

CSRP's daily schedule allows for freedom. Youth decide which activities they wish to participate in; a break from regular structured programming experienced in school. Our goal is to have FUN!
