El Cerrito Recreation strives to provide the community opportunity for personal enrichment, socialization, growth and just plain fun! Through partnerships with local schools, sports leagues, instructors, coaches and more, we connect El Cerrito and beyond to a wide variety of specialized programs including after-school classes, athletics, summer camps and virtual activities. Our mission is to help our local youth to discover and develop passions in STEM, visual arts, sports, performing arts and more in a safe and nurturing environment.
