Participating in Programs at Amherst Recreation is special because we understand that helping to build strong PEOPLE, builds strong communities. From Qi Gong to Basketball, we take great care in finding wonderful instructors who know the value of developing programs that don’t just teach a skill, they also help develop the whole person.


child care programming:

Our Summer Camps & Prime Time After School Program at Crocker Farm are designed to not only care for youth, but are also part of enriching experiences for kids where they can be themselves in a safe and supportive environment.
