The Marshall Rec Center is home to a variety of youth camps and programs for kids of all ages. Our youth camps, such as Healthy Herd Rec Camp and Kid’s Night Out, emphasize developing healthy lifestyles through participation in physical activities. We also offer multiple youth fitness programs here at the Rec!
Winter Kid’s Camp
The Marshall Rec Healthy Herd Winter Camp is an active full-day camp complete with FUN, games, activities, and swimming. Specific activities vary on a day to day basis. Our camp counselors have the energy to match the campers, and act as mentors and coaches to provide a safe environment for campers to grow. Rec Camp is for children ages 5-12. Children are required to bring their own lunch during winter camp. Snack will be provided each day or campers may bring their own snack. The camp day will be from 8am-5pm with no before or after care available. Advanced registration is required as capacity is limited.
