Sports & RegistrationIt’s an honor to provide affordable summer Camps for the children in our community. In our school district, 60% of families qualify for free or reduced price meals, each program and camp offered from our Youth Center provides morning and afternoon snacks and lunches. NCRD Staff pick up pre-packed lunches from Munch A Lunch daily.

Every summer we provide a series of 8 summer field trips. The wonderful destinations provide tangible experiences where the children have the opportunity to explore nature, history, and the beauty of our states.

Hello Oregon, my name is Angela (Angie) Terry, I moved here from Minnesota last September and was lucky enough to join the NCRD team right away as a youth assistant. I have worked with youth for many years as a Daycare Assistant, Para, Coach, and as a volunteer in the classroom as a teacher would need assistance. Moving here with me are my 3 children who are active in extracurricular activities as well as sports which keeps me in touch and up to date with the community and happenings in the area. I enjoy being outdoors with my family, crafting, and traveling in my off time. I look forward to the challenge of bringing youth, sports, and community together after being closed in from covid for so long.
