What happens here?

Some people come to cook. Others come to stretch, paint, sing, learn, play or spend time with neighbours.

Beaches Sandbox offers programs for babies and toddlers, kids and youth, adults, older adults and families. Some are free, some are paid, and financial assistance may be available when cost gets in the way.

Our mission: to create high-quality experiences for healthy, meaningful connections.
