Recreation’s scholarship program made a big improvement in my quality of life. I never used to be able to rationalize even small expenditures, like going swimming, because of being on a fixed income. Having the ability to swim at a very low rate has been wonderful for me– I recently reached my 100 pound weight-loss goal! Applications for FY2015 scholarships will be accepted beginning June 2.

Finding the Right Camp for Your Child Matching your child’s personality and interests is an important part of choosing the right camp.

Gateway to great outdoor experiences The River House is the home of Eugene Recreation’s Outdoor Program. As the name implies, the vast majority of the program’s activities occur outdoors. Eugene and its environs provide the perfect setting for the wide range of activities offered by the Outdoor Program. They include hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, interpretive walks in local parks, snowshoeing, adaptive skiing, surfing, skateboarding, rafting, sailing and kayaking for individuals and families. The Outdoor Program also includes the Spencer Butte Challenge Course. Programs there are
custom designed for your group, to create fun and engaging opportunities to observe group dynamics, set achievable goals, and focus on solutions. Staff designs programs for youth, families, adults, non-profits, and corporate groups. Many of the activities offered by the Outdoor Program are focused on teaching new skills to individuals from youth to adults through experiential learning. No matter what your age, when you learn a new skill, your brain grows new neural pathways that make the skill easier the next time you do it. Experiential learning is the basis of Eugene Recreation’s motto: Building bodies and brains while having fun playing games. 301 N.

The realization of a dream
Finally, at 23,000 square feet, the park is the largest public, lit and covered skatepark in the U.S. The skatepark will operate year-round, regardless of what Mother Nature dishes out. And the Urban Plaza will provide an area for spectators to relax, as well as offer additional space for a variety of community gatherings and events.
Calling it “no ordinary skatepark” is no exaggeration. The Washington-Jefferson Skatepark + Urban Plaza was 10 years in the making. In 2004, 1,700 skaters petitioned the Eugene City Council to build a covered, lit skatepark that they could skate on year-round. The prospects for such a venue were daunting; it would cost millions. But supporters persisted and the City Council approved the new park. It was funded by City fees, grants, and donations. The skatepark is designed by one
of the most respected names in skatepark design and construction, Dreamland Skateparks. It has something for all skill levels, along with skateable art, including a river theme, to stay true to our area.

Woman gives back by swimming her age Swimming your age in laps might not sound too difficult – unless you’re 72 like Karen Howland. She’s been swimming since she was six and has been a regular at Sheldon Pool since the 1990s. She began swimming her age three years ago in honor of her granddaughter, Lauren, who is a cancer survivor. Karen wanted to give back to the Children’s Cancer Association’s MusicRX that comforted Lauren during months of treatment with soothing music or crafts to divert
Lauren’s attention from the chemotherapy’s side effects. To raise funds to support that organization, Karen began taking pledges three years ago for each lap she swam on her birthday. So far, she raised nearly $4000. And, this year, more than $1,000 has already been pledged. Now, Karen just has to swim the laps. She’ll swim her age in laps on April 19, beginning at 9 a.m. at Sheldon Pool. It will take her
equipment. Work at a moderate-to-fast pace to control the overall intensity for your exercise needs. Amazon Pool Ongoing M-Th 11a-Noon M-Th 5:30-6:30p Echo Hollow Pool & Fitness Center Ongoing MWF 6-7a MWF 7:30-8:30a M-Th 5:45-6:45p Sheldon Pool & Fitness Center Ongoing MWF Noon-1p M-Th 5:30-6:30p

Something for everyone and every age Once just a barn, Petersen Barn Community Center today is home to Eugene Recreation’s Youth & Family, and Adult & Senior programs. Pete Barn has a pre-school as well as classes for toddlers, teens, and adults. Many activities at the Barn focus on creating community, such as the annual We Are Bethel Celebration that brings West Eugene neighbors together, and First Friday Family Fun Nights that provide family activities and dinner for free. The Barn also houses the Eugene and Bethel Teen Courts that allow juvenile offenders to avoid incarceration.
Another important service at Pete Barn is out-of-school care. Law enforcement officials say that when young people are without responsible adult supervision or constructive activities, juvenile crime triples. However, when young people have access to quality recreation programs, they have more opportunities to succeed academically, have higher aspirations, and are better prepared to enter post-secondary school and the marketplace … where they will contribute to the community.

Recreation creates assets for growth Sheldon Community Center provides recreation activities as part of the Youth & Family program. Home to KidCity, the center offers a pre-school, as well as day care and after school care programs. All staff are trained in a philosophy which identifies a set of 40 developmental assets – skills, experiences, relationships, and behaviors – that help young people develop into successful and contributing adults. Developed by the Search Institute, this philosophy simply states that when young people have more of these 40 key assets in their lives, they are less likely to use drugs, be violent, or drink. In short, the more assets a young person has, the more likely they are to succeed in many aspects of life. Year-round out-of-school recreation is another important service. Research shows that most juvenile crime, vandalism and injuries occur between 3:00 and 8:00 p.m. – after school but before their parents get home. Sheldon Center provides a safe place for those children to be, where they are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Sheldon also provides activities for adults and families, including day trips to regional points of interest, social events, and exercise classes.
