Thanks for giving Grace the opportunity to better herself by volunteering at the rec this summer. It is truly her home away from home. We feel so fortunate to have a fun, safe place led by a staff of such great people in our community. See you next summer for sure, if not before.

-Lee Anne Toups

My girls had the best time last summer at the Belleair Rec! We were hesitant to sign them up for both the morning and the afternoons, thinking it would be too long of a day but they said that time flew by because of the variety of activities. The special themes each week for the morning camps and the afternoon specialty camps made each week different and fun. Katie and Izzie made a lot of new friends and adore the young counselors and staff. They loved the crafts, dancing, sports, cooking and had a ball learning all about Africa one week. While I was at work I did not have to worry about them at all. I’m sure we’ll be making plans for this summer again at the Rec!

-Andrea Kiesel

Thank you for all

you do for our

children and our

community! How

lucky are we?! -AC

We are so lucky to have the Belleair Rec and the staff to go with it! The rec is so important to my children that I use it as incentive to finish homework, do chores, and encourage good behavior. Their reward is going to the rec for camp or to just play. –TS

The Belleair Rec, and all it encompasses, facilities, programs and staff, is an absolute asset to our community all year. But especially during the summer. My kids look forward to having fun with their friends in a structured but fun environment. As a working mom, I appreciate

that they are in a safe place with people I trust, and they are happy & active. Not sure I could ask for much more. Thanks for all you guys do.

- Tiffanie Lopatin

“We love you guys!”

We have the best kids in the world! Love my summers at the Belleair Rec! -Sara Borger

“You guys are the best!”

-Molly DuPont Schaffer

On day one of Summer Camp, my son was led into the gym and he never looked back for me or his mom. The Belleair Rec experience is fun, professional, personable, safe and well priced. And while the facilities are excellent, the staff is what makes the experience special. Thank you all for making our family feel at home at The Belleair Rec. -Jafar Rubaii
