Need a Place for Your Tween or Teen This Summer? Check Out The Drop at Chestermere Rec Centre
Looking for a safe place where your child can spend a few hours with friends this summer?
The Drop is a free youth hangout operated by Synergy, offering young people ages 8 and up a welcoming space to relax, socialize, and have fun during the summer break. While it's located inside the Chestermere Rec Centre, the program is run by Synergy's trained youth staff.
Open Monday through Friday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, The Drop gives youth a place to connect with friends, play games, enjoy snacks, and spend time in a safe, supportive environment. Best of all, there is no cost to attend, and youth can stay for as little or as long as they like during operating hours.
The space is especially convenient for families already spending time at the Rec Centre. If your child has sports practice, is waiting for a sibling, or has some free time before or after an activity, The Drop provides a comfortable place to hang out instead of waiting in the lobby.
