Online registration is open for the Pierre Parks & Recreation Department’s summer activities. Walk-in registration available by appointment at the Recreation Office.
A wide variety of youth sports, aquatics, enrichment programs and special events are available throughout June and July.
Recreation Superintendent Cody Peitz says one of the biggest changes is a new partnership with the YMCA to use their gym space.
This summer’s youth sports offerings include basketball, T-ball, volleyball, pickleball, golf, tennis, archery, kickball, and KidFit.
Swimming lessons and aquatic programs remain a cornerstone of the summer season. With structured swim levels and access to both the outdoor pool and indoor aquatic center, children have opportunities to stay active while building essential water safety skills. However, the morning swim class in Session One was eliminated due to past cancellations caused by cold weather.
Preschool swim lessons cost $20 to help make early water introduction affordable. All other swim levels (Level 1 through Level 6) cost $30.
Beyond athletics, families can choose from a wide range of creative and educational programs, including 3-D Art, Jewelry Making, Picasso Jr., Scrapbooking, Trail Trekkers, and Little Rays of Fun.
Peitz says Safety Town remains one of the community’s most impactful programs. She says girl that went through the program saved a drowning child’s life at Farm Island using what she learned in Safety Town. The cost for Safety Town is $40 due to its extended schedule and instructional components.
Fantastic Fridays, neighborhood Fire Hydrant Parties, Archaeology Camp, and library partnerships round out the schedule.
Most youth sports programs remain at a cost of $30, including basketball, kickball, KidFit, T-ball, volleyball, golf, and pickleball. Exceptions are archery at $40 due to specialized equipment and instruction, and youth tennis is $75, reflecting extended instruction time and partnership support.
Most youth enrichment programs also $30. Exceptions are Little Rays of Fun at $20, and Fantastic Fridays ranging from $10 to $35, depending on the activity.
The summer is structured into four sessions running from early June through the end of July.
