NOTE FROM DIRECTOR
INSIDE THIS ISSUE...
In this edition of the Recreation Connection, you will notice the addition of a few new
programs that our staff has been working on implementing based on public feedback
and market research. Recreation staff members are always willing to listen to ideas
and feedback from program participants on any improvements or changes that may
be necessary to current programs, as well as potential new programs that may draw
interest. One area of note is the programs we have for the teen population.

Jupiter’s history with off ering programs for teens started in early 2000. The COAST
(Creating Opportunities, Adventures and Sports for Teens) program for teens provided
middle and high school age students a number of free and low-cost activities including
day trips, drop in games, camps, special events and community service projects. My
first job with the Town was as Teen Coordinator for the Recreation Department, and
I implemented this program from its inception. Capturing the attention of teens is always challenging, and for
various reasons we moved away from providing dedicated teen programs in the mid-2000’s. Today, we consistently
see the teen population make good use of the Community Center, and have identified that there is once again
a need to off er both structured and open recreational opportunities for them. Currently, staff members are
hard at work meeting with a teen advisory group to gather ideas for upcoming activities and learn about what
types of programs they would like to attend. As COAST is re-invented this spring, we are already planning a trip
to RUSH Extreme Trampoline Park in Jensen Beach, movie nights at the Community Center, and the return of
Teen Camp this summer.

I’m confident that the return of this program will be a success with the involvement and engagement of our local
teens. Our staff is committed to providing structured and challenging recreational programs for them in a safe,
diverse and positive environment that encourages friendship, acceptance and growth. Don’t miss our upcoming
advisory meetings scheduled for April and May to ensure your teens have a say in what we off er for them!

If you are a teen looking for something fun and
adventurous to do in your community, you should
join COAST. What is COAST? COAST is a program
just for teens coordinated by the Town of Jupiter
that provides activities teens would be interested in
from trips to theme parks to dances. The best part
of the program is that the teens involved choose
the activities. Teens can attend COAST meetings
where they brainstorm new ideas while enjoying
free pizza. In addition to the fun adventures, COAST
will also provide activities to help teens complete
their community service hours. Join us for our
upcoming COAST meetings at 6 pm on April 9 and
May 14. For more information on upcoming teen
events, see page 2.
