DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE 

One of the most important issues communities face today 

is a staggering increase in the rates of obesity and chronic 

disease particularly among our youth. 

But did you know that incorporating 30-60 minutes 

of physical activity into your daily routine can make a 

significant difference in you or your child’s well being? 

Getting more physically active can be as simple as walking to 

work, biking to school, playing in the park or even working 

in the yard. The Spring Valley 

Community Center and the County of San Diego 

Department of Parks and Recreation are committed to 

helping you achieve a healthier lifestyle through our many 

affordable activities and programs, from dance classes to 

yoga, there truly is something for everyone.

The Spring Valley REC Club demonstrates how the County 

of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation makes a 

positive difference in the lives of youth. The goal of the REC 

Club is to provide a safe, fun, positive environment that is free of violence, 

drugs, prejudice, and racism. To achieve this, the club offers opportunities 

for middle and high school youth to grow through physical fitness, art 

expression, leadership roles, community service, and education activities 

while enhancing their self-esteem, communication skills, problem 

solving ability, and community involvement. The fundamental objective 

of the program is to encourage youth to take a proactive role toward 

leading healthy lives free of drugs and violence. 

Weekly Activities Include: 

-Arts and crafts -Homework assistance 

-Leadership groups -Team building initiatives 

-Dance, fitness, cooking - Recording Studio 

- Gardening 

Energy Saving Adventures is the new REC Club perspective, taking charge 

of our future in resource conservation. The weekly programs inspire and 

empower youth to create change in the world around them. This is the 

new “REC Club unplugged” 

“Tournament Tuesdays” 

Get your game on. Every Tuesday ESA will host a full center tournament. 

While these throw downs will be geared toward both the charades master 

and the baseball buff, all tournaments hold the ultimate goal of reducing 

energy usage during peak energy hours. 

“Wired Wednesdays” 

Get your hands dirty while creating your own eco system out of a 2 liter 

bottle or discover your inner engineer while wiring a solar powered 

racecar. Wired Wednesdays are all about the science of energy and how it 

relates to the natural world. You’ll never know what to expect! 

“Thrifty Thursdays” 

On Thrifty Thursdays, we will find creative ways to use materials that 

have been left by the way side. Your perception will change when you 

turn discarded items into new and innovative creations. So, whether 

you are creating a work of art, refashioning an old item of clothing, 

or brainstorming a new invention, all projects will be focused toward 

inspiring conservation.
