Youth
We know that balancing fitness and life can sometimes be a challenge for families. That’s why we’ve designed our club to be a sanctuary where parents and kids can both engage in healthy activities that promote well-being for all. To translate this, LRAC offers tons of stuff that let your kids burn off energy and go bananas (safely of course) while you work out in kid-free bliss. Our combination of the city’s finest fitness venue coupled with our Kids’ Club, Day Care, After School Activities, Parent’s Night Out and Youth Recreation Programs make fitness at LRAC a family affair.
Leave the devices at home because our camps offer nonstop action. Activities include games, sports, arts and crafts, swimming and field trips.
We have days of action-packed fun in the DUC when schools are closed! Typically, we follow public school calendars (see dates below) but if your private or parochial school is going to be out, please check with us. We may be able to add more. As you know, space fills fast so make your reservations by calling 501-225-3601, ext. 335, as early as possible. Snacks and lunch are provided.
