2020-21 School-Year Youth Programs

Reflecting the 2020-21 WCCUSD school year model, the Recreation Department has adapted our school year Youth Programs model to help meet the care needs of our community. Following guidance from state and county health offices, our new program model centers around the best practices for providing care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the look and feel of our new program may be different than what families are used to, we remain dedicated to providing services that focus on health and safety or both students and staff, as well as allows our community to receive essential childcare services-- all while still providing plenty of FUN (friends, unity, & new experiences)!
