Recreation PLUS (Passages
to Learning, Understanding, and Success) is more than a
traditional after-school open recreation program. Instead of simply
opening our doors and supervising open-ended activities, we have
expanded the opportunities for children to learn new things from
adult leaders. From Models and Beading, to Cooking and Basketball,
special small-group activities are available after school. These
activities are available to all school-age children at very low cost
(donations are always accepted, and help a lot). The idea is to make
it easy for children to experience and learn new things while interacting
with caring adults. For those who do not wish to participate, an
adult is on hand to help with homework and monitor activities. In
addition to school year activities, YYFAP offers a variety of options
for kids on summer afternoons. Check out the current month's Calendar
for specific Recreation PLUS activities.
All
children and their families are welcome to attend Recreation PLUS.
Children under six years of age must be accompanied by an adult unless
other arrangements have been made with the supervisor. Recreation
PLUS is open from 3:30 until 6:00 pm on school days, and from 2:00
until 6:00 during school breaks. A $25 fee covers a whole quarter’s
Recreation PLUS activities for a family. Visitors are charged $2
per day or $25, whichever is lower.
Recreation
PLUS is supported by the City of Yachats, the Yachats Lions Club,
One of Us Productions, and many generous individual donors and volunteers.
