Youth Recreation

Blue Hills Civic Association provides positive character development for Hartford Youth through recreation, education, life skills training and family activities for approximately 350 North Hartford students in grades 4 through 12. Approximately 180-youth in grades 4 through 8, participate in our annual basketball program. The program concludes with a family outing/picnic and an awards banquet.

What do we have to offer:

• Sportsmanship - Participants are exposed to
   non-traditional activities such as golf, tennis,
   boating and horseback riding.

• Responsibility/Discipline - Youth participate in skills
  development clinics and play in a total of 100
   basketball games for a total of six-weeks.

• College Exposure - Our youth tour the campuses of
   UCONN and University of Hartford meeting with
   students and school administration to help develop 
   an understanding of furthering their education.

• Visual Exposure - Youth will experience visual
   exposure of the Capitol of Connecticut through
   fieldtrips such as Blue Fox Run, Riverfront
   Recapture and Ebony Horsewomen Stables.
