Your local parks & Rec, school, public pool, and library should offer different programs

Ask families in your community. Ask your kid what they want to do.

Rec Centers.

Check to see if you have a local YMCA or PAL

What are your kids interested in? Maybe you can get specific recs that way.

I'm gonna sign up my guys for the Fairmount Soccer Association in the spring, if that helps.

We did dance class at a rec center. They also offer gymnastics and archery. Some have singing/acting/drama/art classes. We found our Girl Scout troop through school. We're lucky that our school has a good amount of extracurriculars, so all are through there now.

Talk to other parents at school. Preferably parents of your kid’s friends so that they can go together.

Check your neighborhood (general or parent focused) Facebook group. We’ve gotten a lot of leads on activities from the South Silly Facebook group (parent/family focused) for things in South Philly.

And check the Rec centers outside your neighborhood as they all have something different to offer.
