The City of Saint John is pleased to offer a FREE recreation program for children this summer. Registration is required. This year’s Sunshine Program is an 8-week program hosted at eight locations around the city.
Summer 2026
Updated information for the 2026 Sunshine Program, including confirmed site locations and online registration, will be available in late May.
The City of Saint John is working closely with the school district to finalize program locations. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we complete this process.
The Sunshine Program is an outdoor-focused program for Saint John children ages 6 to 12. Daily activities include sports, active games, arts and crafts and off-site adventures.
Morning program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and afternoon program runs from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Note: Early pick up on Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. for weekly staff meeting.)
It is important to note that this program is not a full-time, daycare service. This program requires that a parent or guardian be home and available throughout the day. There is no staff supervision during the lunch hour and children are required to go home.
Registration may be completed online or in person upon your first visit to the program location of your choice.
