Recreation and Other Community Services
Benefits of Recreation
When children and youth participate in recreation activities that are well-organized, of high quality and offer regular opportunities for involvement it contributes to their healthy development and well-being. Children and youth participate in organized recreation activities in a variety of settings, including before and after-school programmes, school based extracurricular programmes, camps, sports clubs, social clubs and cultural groups.
There are many organizations that provide recreation activities for children and youth.
