FROM THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION
The Recreation Department averages over 80,000
patron visits each month at five recreation centers
and serves over 9,000 youth per year enrolled in
various structured programs. During the school year,
children and teens are invited to join us after school to
participate in fun activities. It is well documented that
when youth are involved in positive, structured afterschool
programs they do better in school.
Programs offered by the Recreation Department focus on developing both
life skills and technical skills. Teamwork, respect for self and others, conflict
resolution and leadership are just a few of the life skills that are encouraged
during participation in all programs.
Participation for all people in our programs is essential to our mission...
“develops youth, supports families and provides safe places.” Recreational
facilities that offer universal programs that meet the needs of the entire
community is what we strive to provide. Please continue to look for new
programs and services each season that complement the current trends of
cutting edge programming.
The complete listing of classes, programs, recreation centers and parks can
be found in this guide. The City strives to keep these programs affordable and
accessible for our citizens. Please call us at 619-441-1516 with questions or go
online to www.elcajonrec.org.

In an economy where every dollar
counts, it’s good to know that the
dollars invested in the R.E.C. Campaign
can provide such positive returns for
our kids and our community. Your
contribution to R.E.C. will provide after
school programming and recreational
scholarships for youth.
“Recreation Enhances Our Community”
“In great appreciation for your scholarship fund…I’m writing to say ‘Many
Thanks!’ We are seniors and are raising our 6 year old granddaughter. Putting
her in your classes has greatly increased her self-esteem and confidence!”
These programs provide a fun and
safe environment, teach new skills,
promote healthy lifestyles and build
assets such as teamwork, confidence
and problem solving. These are just
a few positive returns on a R.E.C.
Campaign investment.
“I am a single mother of four and a full-time student. Without the Scholarship
Program, I would not have been able to enroll my 11, 10, and 8 year old sons in
sports activities due to the lack of finances in my home. My oldest son has
improved his stamina and sportsmanship, my 10 year old son learned what it
takes to be a member of a team and my 8 year old son’s team experience
allowed him to really shine.”
please detach and return
Yes, I would like to invest in the R.E.C. Campaign with my donation.
Your tax deductible donation is greatly appreciated.
