YOUTH PROGRAMS

Our youth Fun N Fitness mobile recreation program is a partnership with several Mesa Public Schools to provide after school enrichment and recreation opportunities for students. We had over 3,400 students participate in this program.

This year 12 different youth summer camps for kids ages 6-12 years were held. Staff worked with our partner, Mesa Public Schools, to schedule the camps at different campuses across the city. There were 901 participants in these camps, and Mesa Public Schools provided over 2,100 meals to kids attending the camps through the extended summer food program.

Young teen volunteer opportunities were available through the Teen Leadership Training (TLT) to assist with various activities and Junior Lifeguards that assist and learn from the Lifeguards. These volunteer programs offer valuable life skills and exciting work experience. We had 61 TLT Trainees that contributed over 7,400 volunteer hours at 12 summer camp sites. We had 254 Junior Lifeguards that contributed over 13,800 volunteer hours throughout our 9 pools.
