We are committed to ensuring that our community has resources to stay healthy, vibrant and caring during this pandemic. In these challenging times, Our Virtual Recreation Center will bring these programs and resources right to you and your family, with the hope of making it easier for you to prioritize your health and well-being!

It can be challenging to keep your kids entertained while restricted to your home. The Kid’s section of Rec Connect provides fun ideas, instructions and links to activities, crafts, games and recipes that can be done at home with your children
