Field-tested curriculum, licensed photos, and ready-to-run plans from the team behind The Recreation Academy.
The problem
Every season, someone starts over with a blank schedule and a search bar.
When a great leader leaves, the program walks out the door with them.
Games, supplies, and marketing pieced together at the last minute.
You shouldn’t have to reinvent every program every year.

Where the curriculum was built
A youth camp, club, and clinic provider running programs at 74+ locations across St. Louis, Kansas City, Nashville, and Medford.
Why it matters: Every program was proven with real kids, real staff, and real budgets before we licensed it. You get a playbook, not an experiment.
The same curriculum, now licensed to you.

Independent accreditation
STEM.org Educational Research is the longest continually operating private STEM credentialing body in the U.S. Its reviewers audit curriculum design, instructor training, safety, and delivery — and the mark must be renewed every year.
Why it matters: The Rec Academy is a STEM.org Accredited Educational Experience and placed in the top 5% worldwide for Best in STEM. That is outside proof you can share with parents, principals, and boards.

Parent reviews of The Recreation Academy
“I have an uncoordinated six year old who loves running around. I was worried he might not be able to follow all the rules or would get out right away, but that wasn’t the case. The counselors did a great job of making sure everyone was included. His only complaint was that I picked him up… he wanted to stay all day.”
“My son loves after school kickball! It’s a great way to interact with kids from other grades and have fun!”
“Both of my boys have loved The Recreation Academy. They’ve done both Spring Break camps and Summer Camps. Each day they are excited to participate!”
“Our 9 yr. old son attended a Pokémon card game/trading week long workshop. The instructor was terrific. He has great awareness and made the week amazing.”
“He’s getting three straight hours of energy out playing different sports and connecting with friends. Thanks for a great start to the summer!”
“Our kids have attended several weeks of Sports & Games Madness camp and have always had a great time. Staff and management are accessible and wonderful to work with.”
“My son loves all classes through the Rec Academy! He has fun and stays active. The instructors play with the kids and seem to be having a great time.”
“My sons (5 and 9) had a great week of camp. They came home happy and excited to go back the next day.”

Ways to partner
One full system for one school or site.
$7,500 / year
or $750 / month · 12-month commitment
One full system for 5 physical locations. 2–4 locations: $8,500 / $9,000 / $9,500.
$10,000 / year
or $1,000 / month · 12-month commitment
One full system for up to 10 physical locations.
$15,000 / year
or $1,500 / month · 12-month commitment
$11,000 / year
Between tiers, each location over 5 (or over 10) adds $1,000 per year, so 9 locations never costs more than 10.
Monthly billing is a 12-month commitment: the full annual amount is owed either way. Paying the year up front saves you money. One system = School Break Camp System, or School-Year Enrichment System, or Supplemental PE Systems.
Per extra system, on any plan.
Open to anyone, with or without our curriculum. Curriculum licensees get the reduced 2% rate. It doesn’t include any curriculum.
