CHARACTER COUNTS AT
KENT COUNTY PARKS & RECREATION!

The six pillars of character are instrumental in the success of all programs offered by Kent County Parks and Recreation.  All program participants are encouraged to promote the six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.  Failure of any participant to follow the examples set forth in each pillar may result in expulsion from Kent County Parks and Recreation programs.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES

Currently, many of our recreational youth and adult leagues are offered in surrounding public school facilities.  Working closely with the Board of Education, the Department of Parks and Recreation has several generous facility contracts with Kent County High School, Chestertown, Galena and Rock Hall Middle Schools and Garnett, Worton, Rock Hall, and Millington Elementary Schools.  These facilities are utilized by the Department of Parks and Recreation primarily on weekday evenings.
