Youth Programs at Dressel Elementary
Camps, clinics, and weekly enrichment delivered on-site with Dressel Elementary. Built for busy families and rave reviews from kids.
How Dressel Elementary & The Rec Academy work together
The Rec Academy partners with Dressel Elementary to bring coach-led camps, clubs, and clinics directly to Dressel Elementary. We supply the staff, the curriculum, the equipment, and the registration system; Dressel Elementary provides the space and helps spread the word to local families. For parents, that means well-run programs at a place you already know and trust — no extra driving, no guessing about quality. For our partner, it means a high-energy youth offering they don't have to staff or operate themselves.

Not just another
kid's program.
Most programs keep kids busy. We keep them growing.
The fun is intentional.
RC racing, foam archery, drones, and 20+ activities aren't just crowd-pleasers — high engagement is what makes kids fully present, willing to take risks, and open to learning. You can't coach a kid who's checked out.
Every session has a debrief.
After each activity, our coaches pause and guide kids through what happened — what worked, what was hard, how they showed up as teammates. Kids don't sit through a lesson. They process something they just lived.
Coaches who guide, not rescue.
Our staff let kids work through frustration, conflict, and challenge — then help them make sense of it. That's the rep that builds confidence for when parents aren't in the room.
Safe, structured environment.
1:14 staff-to-kid ratio, background-checked and CPR-certified coaches, and clear safety protocols at every site.
- Background-checked staff
- SEL-focused approach
- NAA-aligned programs
- 1:14 staff-to-kid ratio
