Smiling is contagious around here. Whether you’re taking an uptempo Zumba class, a deep water fitness class or a leap off the high dive at Amazon Pool, our instructors and employees display a playfulness that is hard to ignore. Eugene Rec believes so much in having fun it’s right there in our tagline. Fostering a healthy, happy community is what we’re all about. We know that when you engage with us in a physical activity or a fun class with your peers, you can improve your health and feel like a happier, more energetic person.
Find happiness with Eugene Rec Within the pages of this Rec Guide, anyone can discover something that will make them happy. If you’re a 10-year-old it could be something as simple as spending an afternoon at Amazon Pool and enjoying a fine Eugene summer day.
Or it could be spending a week immersed in a Star Wars universe in one of the plethora of camps we offer for all ages. And, of course, we have plenty for adults, too, from fantastic arts classes to yoga and fitness classes that will leave you feeling rejuvenated. This Rec Guide is your key to finding happiness this summer. Who knows, maybe you’ll finally take your family on that kayaking trip to Waldo Lake or learn how to standup paddleboard and create a sunny summer memory you’ll remember during the rain next winter. Maybe you’ll even capture a few of the smiles along the way.
