The Downingtown Area Recreation
Consortium (DARC) is a multi-government entity composed of
municipalities in the
Downingtown
Area
School District. The municipalities include the townships of East
Brandywine,
East
Caln, Upper
Uwchlan,
Uwchlan, Wallace, West
Bradford
and West
Pikeland as well as the
School District
. DARC is a regional municipal recreation office providing recreation,
adult education and youth learning opportunities for residents.
The goal of these municipalities is to work together to provide
economical, recreational opportunities to the community.
The number of people who live
within our service area totals over 70,000 or approximately 40,000
homes. Downingtown is
located in the southeastern part of
Pennsylvania
about one hour west of
Philadelphia
.
The Consortium does not own any
facilities. We utilize the
School District
’s nine Elementary Schools, the two Middle Schools and two High Schools.
In addition DARC uses the Townships' parks and meeting rooms, as
well as several privately contracted facilities.
We mail our brochure, listing our activities, four times a year. You can
look for the brochure during mid-March, mid-May, mid-August and
mid-December. Our activities
are broken down into Adult Programs, Youth Programs, Workshops,
Computer, On-Line Courses, Leagues, and Trips.
During the summer months we also offer a Playground Program,
Full-Day Day Camp, two Full Day Teen Camps and weeklong sports, science,
nature and theater camps. We
also sell discounted ski lift tickets, amusement park tickets and movie
tickets. We try to offer a wide
variety of courses each and every brochure.
The
Board is made up of one member from each municipality and a School Board
Member. The DARC Board meets the second Thursday of every other month.
2010 meetings are scheduled for January 14, March 11, May 13, September
