Clintonville Summer Program Plans

Plans and schedules for the Clintonville Park and Recreation Department’s upcoming summer activity season are slowly becoming finalized.

Over the next couple of weeks all plans will be finalized and made public. The department’s intent is to have available its summer program and activity flyer the first week of May, with program registration to begin several weeks later. Barring any unforeseen circumstances a decision has been made to begin the eight week summer recreation program on Monday June 20th.

The department has four main goals as it conducts its summer programs. These goals are: 1. It is critical for the program participants to have fun. 2. Participants will be taught the basics of sportsmanship and teamwork and will be expected to treat other program participants and the programs leaders respectfully. 3. Program participants will learn the value of play/exercise and have the opportunity to play/exercise and will be encouraged to do more on their own. 4. Participants will learn the basics of each sport/activity they are in, but not at the expense of the previous three goals.

Tee Ball Baseball: This is an instructional baseball program for youth ages 4 & 5 by at least August 15th. This group will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays 1:00-2:15 pm at the youth baseball field in WA Olen Park. If registration warrants a second session will be organized.
