YOUTH PROGRAMS

Welcome to Texas A&M Rec Sports’ Youth Programs! Our mission is to offer recreational opportunities for youth in the Bryan-College Station community, while enhancing the education experience of Texas A&M students. Specifically designed for children aged 6 – 14, our program aims to instill a lifelong appreciation for fitness, camaraderie, and enjoyment. We extend a warm invitation to young Aggies to discover the engaging side of physical activity through recreational games, team sports, swimming, and outdoor adventures. Our activities are thoughtfully curated to not only cultivate a lasting interest in recreational sports but also to foster a sense of accomplishment across physical, social, and emotional realms. Through our programs, we promote camper growth and provide valuable work experience for college students. Please review the Youth Programs behavior policy prior to registering.
