Have a Smashing Summer!

Get out, get active and have fun with Eugene Rec

Make this summer your own

with Eugene Rec PHOTO BY BEN SCHORZMAN

Everyone has their own opinion on what summer means to them. You’ll have to excuse Eugene Rec athletics staff for thinking it’s all about them.

Amazon, Echo Hollow and Sheldon pools see all of that and raise them the feeling of jumping into a pool on a hot summer’s day.

To them, adult sports is summer. Once the weather starts getting nicer and the softball fields start drying out, mitts come out of the closet and that indoor volleyball is swapped out for one suitable for sand. People put away their rain gear in favor of shorts for their Ultimate frisbee uniforms.

The point is, Eugene Rec has something for everyone, no matter what your definition of summer is. In this guide you can find a multitude of trips, art classes or fitness activities to make the most of your summer.

Peruse our extensive list of summer camps for your children or find an activity you can enjoy as a family.

Explore a part of Eugene you don’t normally get to or relive your high school days on the softball diamond.

For the thousands of people who participate in Eugene Rec adult sports leagues, summer means warm nights spent on dirt or sand or grass.

Of course our River House Outdoor Center staff might argue summer means the sound of rushing whitewater on the McKenzie River or the dirt crunching under the tires of a mountain bike.

Amazon Community Center staff might say the real definition of summer is actually the sight of kids crafting, playing, singing and smiling during summer camp.

We won’t define your summer for you, but we do ask that you don’t skip the post-game handshake line.

Adventure. Community. Happiness.
