During the summer months, the Mobile Recreation Vans visit
parks, schools and apartment complexes throughout the City of
Boise. During the school year, the vans visit schools through
the end of the academic year.
FUNDING
The vans are funded by the City of Boise and operated by Boise
Parks & Recreation staff. Additional support is provided by the
University of Idaho's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education
Program, the Boise Sunrise Rotary Club and the Boise Southwest 
Rotary Club. The Boise Weekly awarded a
one- time grant in 2008 to support an artist-in-residence program.
A free daily snack is provided for each child.
BACKGROUND
The Mobile Recreation Unit was launched in February 2008 to
address programming deficiencies identified by the Mayor's Council
on Children and Youth. Accessibility, both in terms of location and
cost, was identified as a major obstacle facing families looking
for safe, quality after-school programming for their children. The
Mobile Recreation Unit is intended to help alleviate the
accessibility issue and provide safe, supervised activities near to
home. This Institution is an Equal Opportunity Provider.
