The Progress

It is a drop-in program, run by Clark County Parks and Recreation. The program is free but parents must register their kids before they can participate.

In the program, kids play active games such as steal the flag, dodge ball and other games in the gym. Elementary and middle school kids are welcome to come to the Community Center on 150 W. Virgin St. in Bunkerville.
