In the summer, Community Kids Place provides project-based learning activities in collaboration with community partners. Students take weekly field trips to a range of enriching experiences. CKP also features a partnership with the Greater Lawrence Boating Program for children aged 9 and up. Participating students spend two days a week at the Greater Lawrence Boathouse where they play games, take boat rides, learn about water safety, and enjoy time on the banks of the beautiful Merrimack river. Students who pass a swim test are able to kayak, canoe, and learn to sail. The summer program operates full day. It opens shortly after the school year ends, and is open until two weeks before the new school year begins.
