Recreation Council of Greater St. Louis

Rachel & Randy out here at Queeny Park hoping to see you!

Have you ever heard of Lite Tennis? Lite Tennis is a new sport, about to explode onto the St. Louis Sports scene. Lite Tennis uses a conventional tennis racket, a special ball, and is played on a pickleball sized court. Oh, and Lite Tennis is for everyone! 🎾

Come out and join us at Chicken N Pickle in St. Charles on July 13th, from 5:00-7:00 pm, for a free clinic by the founders of Lite Tennis.

Did you know that the Recreation Council has funding available for people, of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities, to attend overnight camps? That is just one of the voucher programs we support with funding from our local Senate Bill 40 Boards. Please call us if you're interested in applying for funding for overnight camp. Camp smiles are some of the best smiles!! 😁

We had a wonderful time fishing in Forest Park on Saturday. The fish were biting like crazy! Thank you to all who joined us and a special thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers. We couldn't do it without you!

Thank you to the team at DASA for welcoming us to Camp WeCanDu this week. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the rich camp experience and to see campers building friendships, confidence, independence, and lasting memories.

Visits like these help us better understand the many recreation opportunities available throughout our region and strengthen our partnerships with the organizations that make adventurous recreation possible.

The Recreation Council helps offset the cost of camps and other recreation programs for eligible individuals with disabilities. Contact us to learn more about available funding and resources.
