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.
