Do you want your child to have a summer of real fun—and real growth?
Every parent wants their child to laugh, play, and come home a little more confident each day. That’s what The Recreation Academy’s Sports & Games Madness is all about—combining high-energy fun with real-life skill development.
This summer, your child can join The Recreation Academy at:
-New City School
-Kirkwood Park
-The Beal Center
-Community School
-Dressel Elementary School
Also in the works:
-Kennedy Recreation Center
-Affton Community Center
Our camps are packed with classic and creative games—kickball, dodgeball, relay races, flag tag, Ga Ga Ball, 9 Square in the Air, capture the flag, foam-tipped archery, and plenty of gameplay variations. Every day brings new excitement, laughter, and opportunities to learn.
But we offer more than just play. After each game, our staff lead thoughtful debriefs where kids practice teamwork, leadership, and communication. Imagine your child coming home not just energized, but also more self-assured and compassionate.
A summer’s difference can make a HUGE impact—don’t let them miss out.
