This program is operated at two park locations; Stroudsburg Borough Park and Dansbury Park, East Stroudsburg, and is open to all who  live and work  in the Stroud Region Area.

The goal of the Stroud Kids program is to provide a safe and enjoyable summer atmosphere built around child-centered activities that help children develop positive life long leisure and social skills. Activities include arts & crafts, active and passive games, sports, playground and water games, and special events.
