How Can I Find Out About Recreational Activities For My Family To Enjoy?


Many specialized recreation activities are available as well as opportunities to participate in regular recreational programs. In addition, some Parks and Recreation Departments offer special therapeutic recreation opportunities as well as standard programs. Contact the Parks and Recreation Department listed under your county or city in the phone book.

Most programs do not have residency requirements - counties are listed here for your convenience.

Special events, such as the Special Kids Picnic occur throughout the year. Contact WarmLine Family Resource Center or go to our events calendar for information regarding these and other events in your area.

If you are interested in sending your child to camp during the summer, you should know that most camps have registration periods during the late winter and spring, so plan to register early.
