About Rec Check
Saint Paul Parks and Recreation offers after-school and other out-of-school time care for youth at multiple recreation centers across the City. Rec Check programs are open for youth who live or attend school in Saint Paul. Children participate in a variety of structured, supervised activities that are recreation-focused. These may include arts and crafts, community-building games, quiet time, homework help (during the school year), and more. To promote health and fitness, staff will engage the youth daily in physical activity. A daily snack is also provided.
