Its Youth Recreation Division operates year-round neighborhood community centers plus summer programs, with drop-in recreation open to city youth ages 7-13 and some programs extending to older teens. Summer offerings include half-day youth camps in soccer, tennis, and track and field, along with a youth basketball camp and general youth athletics. Registration is handled through the city's online recreation portal.
