All events include Children's Program - Ages 5 -11
The kids will explore, create and play during ECRS-style activities held indoors and out.

Scholarships - Many scholarship recipients work in the field of recreation leadership; others use ECRS to develop a personal appreciation of the value of play. Scholarships cover either 100% tuition or 50% off the price of the event, depending upon the event. Duties may involve assisting with children's program, snacks, office work or life guarding. Other scholarships require no service, only that the recipient be new to ECRS or pursuing professional studies in the field of recreation.
