"The Basics are Back"

North Little Rock Parks and Recreation wants to help your child grow to become a strong independent adult. 

Like a sapling and a tree, youth require encouragement, nourishment and skills to grow into a strong well rooted adult.

It is NLRPR’s goal to offer the youth of North Little Rock and surrounding communities this chance by providing the necessary encouragement, skills and nourishment during the summer months through the NLRPR Summer Activities Program (SAPling).  Your child will have the opportunity to grow physically and emotionally.  Boys and girls going into the 1st* thru 6th grades will have the occasion to participate daily in fun and safe recreation activities such as sports, fitness, arts, humanities and life skills.  Weekly field trips will be taken. 

*Students entering the 1st grade should bring a copy of their Kindergarten report card with their registration form.

This program participates in the USDA Summer Food Program
for both free breakfast and lunch during Sessions 1, 2, and 3 (June 9 - August 8).

A limited number of slots are available at each center.

SAPling is not a certified DHS daycare.
