Tamworth Recreation Report – Spring/Summer 2025
From the Desk of the Rec Director
This report steps back a bit to catch up on everything we’ve been up to—and it’s been a busy and exciting few months for Tamworth Rec!
🐣 We will start things off talking about this spring with a very successful Egg Hunt, all of the eggs were found in under eight minutes! A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make that event such a fun and festive tradition.
🎾 This spring, we also partnered with Advantage Kids Tennis to bring tennis programming to Tamworth, and it was a great to have them back this year.
⚽ Spring Soccer served over 35 kids across multiple age groups, giving young athletes the chance to grow their skills and play with friends. Meanwhile,
Pickleball continues to be a favorite, with outdoor play happening regularly on the tennis courts.
👟 Our Track & Field program had a strong season, participating in three meets—including the state meet! We saw several of our athletes place very high at the state level, and we’re proud of all the hard work and great sportsmanship displayed by the whole team.
⚾ T-Ball wrapped up with two fun and successful games against Madison—always a highlight for our youngest players.
🏕️ Our first week of Tamworth Summer Enrichment Program (TSEP) was packed with activity, learning, and exploration. We partnered with amazing local organizations and spent time all over town discovering what makes Tamworth so special.
🏊 Swim lessons are currently underway at both Bearcamp Pond and White Lake, with lots of progress and confidence-building already in session.
🎆 And of course, our 4th of July celebrations were a true highlight of the summer so far. Beautiful weather, big crowds, and a joyful parade made for a day to remember. Thank you to everyone who helped make it all happen!
Friday Trips are off and running as well with a full load of trip ahead of us for the summer.
A couple adult programs are upocoming as well!
☀️ As summer programs continue in full swing, I’m already beginning to plan for fall sports. Thank you, as always, for your support, your energy, and your participation. Tamworth Rec thrives because of the great community behind it.
See you around!
Best,
Jeremy Phillips
Tamworth Recreation Director
This past week, we kicked off our very first Open Gym sessions, and they were a hit! Our participants, ages 4-8, had a blast running, playing, and enjoying some free time to move. Adult basketball players hit the court for some friendly competition and a great workout. If you missed out, don’t worry—we’re doing it again this Saturday from 10:00-11:45 AM. Whether you're looking for a place for your kids to burn off some energy or you want to join a game of hoops, we’d love to see you there!
Right after Open Gym, we shift gears to pickleball! From 12:00-2:00 PM, beginners can come learn the game in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you’re already an experienced player, our Intermediate-Advanced Pickleball sessions are still happening at their regular times. Pickleball is a fantastic way to stay active, meet new people, and have fun—so grab a paddle and join us!
Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to start the LEGO Legends afterschool program for K-8th grade students at Cook Memorial Library next week. This exciting program will feature weekly LEGO challenges, creative free building, and plenty of fun!
Stay tuned for more updates on all things recreation in Tamworth, and we hope to see you at the gym or on the court this weekend!
This past week, we wrapped up a fantastic cross-country ski program at the Rec Field. Thanks to great participation and plenty of snow, skiers of all ages had the chance to develop their skills and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the cold winds forced us to cancel the quinzhee hut program, but we’ll look forward to bringing it back in the future when conditions cooperate.
Our youth basketball season is coming to a close. Players showed incredible growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout. We’ll be celebrating their hard work and dedication soon—great job to all our athletes and coaches!
Meanwhile, pickleball continues to thrive, with strong turnout and a new schedule starting next week—be sure to check the Rec calendar for details. Also, mark your calendars for March 8, when Open Gym begins for both kids and adult basketball.
Looking ahead, we’ll be announcing spring sports sign-ups next week along with a couple of new adult programs, so stay tuned! Behind the scenes, we’re already working on an exciting summer schedule, and we can’t wait to share more in the coming months.
