Summer Activity Programs

“Today’s Growing Youth, Tomorrow’s Well Rooted Adult”

North Little Rock Parks and Recreation (NLRPR) wants to help your child grow to become a strong independent adult.
Like a sapling and a tree, youth require encouragement, nourishment and skills to grow into a strong well rooted adult.

It is our goal to offer the youth of North Little Rock and surrounding communities this chance by providing the necessary encouragement, skills and nourishment during the summer months through the NLRPR Summer Activity Programs (SAPling). Your child will have the opportunity to grow physically and emotionally. Boys and girls going into the 1st thru 8th grades in the fall will participate daily in fun and safe recreation activities such as sports, nutrition, STEM, and creative arts.

Notes
