Weather Update from KPRD!

Storms are rolling through, so Robin Hood Pool will be closed 4–6 PM today. Come swim with us tomorrow - starting at 1:00 - for the grand openings of BOTH pools.

All camp meet & greets are moving indoors! Join us at the Recreation Center, 312 Washington St., 6–7 PM. One spot, same time - great opportunity to meet staff and spark some new friendships before camp starts on Monday!

What happens when you bring ALL of your summer staff together for training? Engagement. Learning. Food… and FUN!

Saturday’s “Flapjacks & First Impressions” was the perfect kickoff to summer - bringing together our lifeguards, camp counselors, collection attendants, and summer youth program staff for meaningful, efficient, and mission‑driven training.

From team‑building challenges to real‑life scenarios, from the easy stuff to the tough stuff, we covered it all. Huge kudos to our full‑time staff for leading an incredible morning, and a big welcome to the amazing people we’ll be spending the summer with.

Huge congratulations to our Manager, Alyssa, who was recently honored with the Keene State College Alumni Inspiration Award!

This award recognizes alumni who make outstanding contributions in their professional and community work - and Alyssa embodies that every day as a member of our KPRD Team. Thank you for recognizing her impact. Collaboration like this is what makes our work meaningful and fun!
