About the provider

The Recreation Commission came to being shortly after World War II. Jim Oettinger is named as Recreation Commission Director, and Adam Sidrow is named as camp director. The Recreation Commission sponsors a major portion of Closter's recreational activities and is supported by the Municipal budget, registration fees, volunteers, and part-time salaried employees. The goal of the Recreation Commission and Closter Coaches Association is to provide an outlet for children to participate in and enjoy a well rounded sports program.
