Ready, Set, Recreation!

Michigan Recreation & Parks Association

2010 Innovative Program of the Year!

Est. 2006

RSR Is an endeavor to expand the recreational opportunities for Alpena area residents by offering inexpensive (or free!) programs that will promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage participation in lifelong sports.

Since Alpena, Michigan is located along the shore of Lake Huron and has a river running through town, our kids have acccess to LOTS of water, including the numerous inland lakes! Our first program, Ready, Set, Swim! began as a common sense idea...teaching our second graders to swim.

Ready, Set, Swim! has become an enormous success with over 2200 students taking lessons since we came to the Plaza Pool with an idea of how to gets kids into the pool. We hope that we are creating the next generation of swim team members, lifeguards and instructors. Beginning in June 2011, Ready, Set, Swim is run exclusively by Alpena County Plaza Pool.

Next, we introduced Ready, Set, Serve! which teaches a life-long sport--tennis--to area third graders. Along with learning a great sport, these kids will have access to the four indoor courts inside the APlex...essentially they will play the game in the equivalent of the "Big House". The Alpena Tennis Association and its members have been vital to the success of the program and have devoted many hours to making the Serve program a great experience for all players!

For the 2011-12 school year, we are beginning the Ready, Set, Create! program...an art exploration for Alpena County 5th grades. Thanks to stakeholders at Art in the Loft, our newest program again gives students an opportunity to explore a what can become a lifelong passion: ART! And best of all, instruction is given by professionals in the creative industry and classes take place in an actual gallery. It's a better way for some of our youngest members of our community to see ART in ACTION! Hats off to members of the Northeast Michigan Center for Fine Arts for making this happen!
