“We’re excited to be able to offer classes and camps to keep the community active and engaged this summer,” said Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway. “Health and safety are top of mind in everything we do and after a long year of cancelations due to COVID-19, our team is looking forward to a safe and fun summer.”

New classes and camps include roller derby and sailing. Popular offerings include art, dance, theater and Zoo Boise events. The Outdoor Preschool Program is expanding to west Boise with fall sessions at Boise Urban Garden School.

Boise Parks and Recreation’s Adaptive Recreation program for kids and adults provides a wide range of programs for people with disabilities. One-day AdVenture activities include bike rides, dinner and a movie and a foothills hike and dinner.

Volunteer events are updated regularly online and participants can choose from one-time activities or recurring volunteer programs. Park and facility reservations are also open for the year.
