Page 32 of 72 Rec and Community Center do not anticipate any in-house sports leagues. Most of these will continue to be run by outside groups utilizing school district gyms and facilities. We anticipate some introductory sport classes for young children and an in -house pickleball program and league. If a Sports Center or Court facility is built there will be extensive sport club and league programs, but these will likely be run through partnerships with any development partner for the Sport Court Center. Total in-house sport programs are only projected to generate $9,000 in gross revenue by Year 2 with net revenue of roughly $4,500. Youth Summer, Holiday, and Sport Camps The YMCA did run robust youth camp programs. Interviews with individuals who were part of the YMCA camp program have expressed confidence that these programs can actually grow, both inside the Rec and Community Center facility and with programs cross the surrounding park systems. The potential to bring City Parks and Recreation resources to the camp program will help open the camp programs up to a larger portion of Lino Lakes youth. Initial very conservative estimates project gross youth sport camp revenue of $75,000 by Year 2 with net revenue of $34,000. There is significant upsides to the camp program, especially as future expanded facilities with outdoor sport themed activities that can provide a wider range of experiences and activities than the former YMCA. Youth Programs Youth programs in aquatics and aquatic based recreation will grow at the Rec and Community Center as previously discussed in Aquatics. The potential also exists to provide more youth based fitness and activity programs but the limited gym space will continue to limit youth sports programs. Youth sports and programs will be a significant beneficiary of future development of the Sports Center and the outdoor sport features.
