Highlights
Ways Children Benefit from Recreation Activities and Time Spent in Nature

It costs approximately $30,000 to incarcerate a juvenile offender for one year.  If that money were being spent on the child through recreation and parks programs offered by the Boynton Beach Recreation & Parks Department we could:

• Enroll him in 10 months of an after-school program
• Enroll him in twenty-four weeks of visual art classes
• Enroll him in eight weeks of summer camp
• Let him participate in one fishing clinic
• Invite him and his family to three special family events
• Sign him up for a counselor in training program that lasts throughout the school year
• Allow him to participate in five months of martial arts training
• Enroll him in a six week junior lifeguard program
• Provide him with five private tennis lessons
• Enroll him in a 1 week tennis camp
• Provide nature experiences at local parks...

… after which we could return to you $26,968 and one much happier kid!

Each year, The Recreation and Parks Department serves thousands of youth in hundreds of programs.  For more information on youth and teen programs, please call 561-742-6221 or email recdept@ci.boynton-beach.fl.us.
