Children and teens, ages 6 to 16, are invited to participate in a variety of city-wide programs designed to be meaningful and fun, most at little or no cost. These programs are held at various times throughout the year and present opportunities for youth to learn something new, refine their skills or just meet new people.                                            

Arts in the Parks

Our arts program is made available in many of our community recreation centers with free hands-art lessons designed to introduce elementary-aged children to the world's diverse artistic heritage.

For more information on youth programs and locations, please call the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department at (803) 545-3100.
