2010 Summer Recreation Program

The Bandon Community Youth Center summer recreation program begins its fourth year during the month of July. The Program is targeted for youth a bit older than the under 12-year-old youth served by the City of Bandon's Summer recreation program operated by the school district. The Youth Center Summer Recreation Program includes clinics and camps for various different activities from sports to photography to basic computer skills. It provides opportunities to try something new or to enhance one's skills and to build more self esteem and confidence. The current schedule of activities is as follows:

• July 5-8 Boy's Basketball
• July 11-15 Non-Contact Football
• July 18-22 Girl's Basketball
• July 25-29 Digital Photography
• August 1-5 Computer Skills

The camps, clinics and workshops run from Monday though Friday, nine to noon, to allow participants to take part in the free lunch program at the school cafeteria. Participants in the digital photography workshop will get a chance to show off their work to friends and families on Friday.

Our camps are geared for school aged youth ten years old or older. The cost of each weeklong course or camp is $25 or $35 for a family.

You will note that this year's schedule runs through early August. Activities for the remainder of the summer are yet to be scheduled. This will allow for rescheduling of camps or clinics in the event of bad weather or other postponements, it will also provides an opportunity to schedule a second camp for those unable to attend one ofour offerings. More information on each camp is contained in a pamphlet that is available at the Youth Center.
