RECREATION AND ACTIVITY INSERVICE MATERIALS

Providing employee training is a crucial responsibility of a Recreation or Activity Director. The following are inservice packages that allow the Recreation/Activity Director or Supervisor to provide high quality inservices for Activity/Recreation staff as well as the facility staff. Each PDF inservice comes with a handout, teacher's outline, certificate of attendance, inservice sign in sheet, flyer to announce the inservice, an interactive exercise, and an inservice evaluation form. All you need to do is print and begin training!

These inservices are not pre-approved homestudy classes for NCCAP continuing education. They are intended to be used as staff inservices for in-facility training. NCCAP does, however, accept a certain percentage of in-facility training to go toward continuing education, so please reach out to NCCAP to learn more about that.

All materials are sent via e-mail for you to download and are typically emailed within 24 hours or less but please allow up to 72 hours. Some emails get blocked. If you do not get your order in three business days please contact Kim and leave your phone number. Please add www.recreativeresources.com and kimgrandal36@gmail.com and to your safe senders' list.
