Your Summer Programs at GiGi’s Playhouse Start Here ☀️ 

This summer, we’re doing something a little different at GiGi’s Playhouse—and it’s all designed with one goal in mind: giving families more time to connect. 

As always, every program is free of charge, and you’ll still see the programs you know and love. But during select weeks, we’re introducing a new, simple way to spend your day at the Playhouse. 


What’s New For Summer Programs

Instead of just coming for a one-hour program, you now have the option to stay for a full afternoon. 

These programs are available for ALL AGES.  

Here’s how it works: 

12:00–1:00 PM | Lunch with Friends 
Bring your own lunch and eat at GiGi’s. This is a relaxed, unstructured time to connect with other families. 

1:00–2:00 PM | Featured Program 
Join a structured program like art, movement, or STEM activities. 

2:00–3:00 PM | Open Play 
Stay after the program for free play in the Playhouse. No agenda—just time to play, talk, and build friendships. 

You can come for one part of the day or stay for all three. There’s no expectation—just more opportunity. 


When to Join These Afternoon Experiences 

🎨 Art Explosion Weeks (All Ages) 

June 8–11 & June 15–18 |All Ages | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

During these two weeks, our featured program is Art Explosion, where participants will create with Perler Beads. 

🏃 GiGiMOVE Week 

July 12–15 | All Ages | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm 

Each day features a different movement-based activity focused on building strength, confidence, and coordination. 

🔬 STEM Week 

July 20–23 | All Ages | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Hands-on activities designed to encourage curiosity, problem solving, and learning through play.

    • Registration Required

Why We Built It This Way

We heard it from families again and again—sometimes the best part of GiGi’s isn’t just the program, it’s the time before and after. 

This summer, we’re creating space for that. 

So pack a lunch, stay a little longer, and make an afternoon of it. We’ll be here 💛 

P.S. Don’t forget to register, so we can plan accordingly. Register on our calendar.
