Rec’ing Crew is an after-school program for youth in grades K-5. It is offered every day Centerville Schools are in session. Rec’ing Crew keeps your child safe, happy, and engaged in constructive pursuits with a staff that is dedicated to enriching your child's experience, acting as mentors, and providing positive role models.

Free daily transportation from Centerville City Schools is provided by Centerville City Schools Busing. Please coordinate with Centerville Transportation and your child’s school. If your child does not attend a Centerville City School, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to drop the child off for the program.

Children can splash around in the center's awesome aquatic facility, "climb the walls" of our 24- foot climbing wall, enjoy a movie on a theater-size screen, and run and play outdoors in our 26-acre Countryside Park that features a butterfly playground, interactive musical toys, and nature trails.

Time is set aside for homework each day so that families may enjoy more quality time at home each evening. A daily snack is served upon arrival.

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) projects will be created each week. The kids will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning. 

Rec’ing Crew meets Monday through Friday from 2:30 pm- 6 pm when Centerville schools are in session. 

For children who attend Centerville City Schools, free transportation is available from school to Rec’ing Crew. Please contact the Centerville City Schools Transportation Office at 937-885-7776 and your child's school to coordinate transportation.

We are extremely flexible. Sign up to participate one day a week, every day, or somewhere in between. Pay for only the days you need.

School Days Off and Holiday Break Camps are available to all children in grades K-5 when Centerville City Schools are not in session due to teacher in-service, holidays, etc. However, your child does not need to attend Centerville Schools to participate in these programs.

Transportation is NOT provided these days. Children must be dropped off and picked up each day by an adult caregiver.

Children should bring:

• Backpack

• Snacks (We provide a daily snack when children arrive, but if your child does not prefer what we offer, or needs more nourishment after school, send snacks. Kids get hungry.)

• Water bottle

• A positive attitude

Swim Days Only (Wednesdays for Rec’ing Crew)

• Swim gear and towel

• Optional: flip flops/water shoes, goggles

Please make sure your child’s name is clearly marked on all items. The Washington Township RecPlex is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. A lost and found bin is located in RecPlex West’s main hallway and outside the pool area.

Whatever your child wore to school is fine, but make sure clothing is comfortable, casual clothing (loose shirts and shorts) that can get dirty, especially during School Days Off or Holiday Break Camps.

Wear closed-toe shoes. We recommend athletic shoes with socks; no clogs or any shoes with a heel, flip flops, or sandals (at the pool only).
