Thank you for playing with us this summer!
Thank you to all the families and their children who participated in our new CARES summer programs, Sports Camps, and live-stream Virtual Camps this summer! We appreciated your cooperation with all the safety precautions and your ongoing support. Although it was a very different summer, we all managed to have lots of fun! Again, thank you.
We understand that securing childcare this fall will be a challenge for many families in our community. Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District is committed to be part of the solution. As MDUSD finalizes the details of their plan to start the school year with 100% distance learning, Rec & Park staff is working simultaneously to develop complementary youth program options to support as many District families as we possibly can with quality childcare, distance learning support and enrichment opportunities. These programs will expand upon the success of our summer CARES programs for youth and teens.

NEW! PHRec Cares Summer Programs
Introducing "PHRec Cares", child-care based summer programs for preschool, youth, and teens. These programs will consist of 3-week sessions with stable groups of 12 children and will include lots of arts & crafts, games, and outdoor fun. Programs will follow all current Contra Costa County health orders and safety guidelines.
Registration for these "PHRec Cares" programs, however, will be limited. We recommend registering ASAP if you need this program.

MASK UPDATE:
Kids Now Required To Wear Masks
On July 7, 2020, the Contra Costa County Health Department issued a new Health Order which aligned its face-covering order with the one issued by the State of California’s “Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings” on June 18, 2020. These new guidelines require individuals older than 2 years to wear a face-covering while in public. Effective immediately all participants must have a face covering with them, and the ability to put it on when requested.
- Face Coverings are required for the following:
- All non-sports indoor camps
- All sedentary activities (arts, LEGO, etc.)
- When physical distancing is not available (i.e. walking to the restroom, rest break)
- Face Coverings are not required for the following:
- While playing sports or being active (i.e. running)
- While swimming or doing water activities
- Person meets one of the allowable exemptions (i.e. medical condition)
Until this new order, we were in compliance with the Contra Costa Health Order which did not require masks for children or youth in stable groups for camps. As with other Orders, the new order supplants the previous guidance and we are now mandated to require all children to wear face coverings when safe to do so. Please provide a face covering for your child each day of camp. Our staff will work with the children to wear them when appropriate and necessary. As with all items you send to camp please put your child’s name on the face-covering so that we can identify the owner of misplaced masks.
As always we appreciate your assistance with this new protocol and speaking with your child about the new regulations. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to on-site youth program staff.
