2021 Rec-PAC Locations

Rec-PAC (Pretty Awesome Children), operated by Fairfax County Park Authority, is a six week structured recreation program with emphasis on leisure skills designed for elementary school children.

Participants will have an opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of activities such as: fun and fitness, indoor and outdoor games, team sports, nature, crafts, storytelling, sports festivals, talent shows and supervised play sessions. Each location has a ratio of 1 staff person to 18 participants.

The Rec-PAC program is well run and well organized. I loved all the creativity and that they encouraged my kids to use their imaginations.
My daughter had a great time playing with her friends and meeting new ones. Rec-PAC is a great place for kids to be kids.
I loved that my son was able to exercise, make new friends and have fun in the sun.
The weekly themes were great and the daily activities were fun for all the kids. Rec-PAC rocks!
My kids looked forward to the special events each week. The staff were very creative and made sure my kids had fun.
My son made a lot of new friends. He came home very happy at the end of each day and looked forward to going back to play games with his new buddies.
I love that my child had a blast at Rec-PAC. She did fun, safe and wonderful activities every day. She was excited to go everyday.
The staff are very professional, well mannered and dedicated to their work. They love the kids and were very polite. I couldn't have asked for better role models for my kids to be around.
