RETIREMENT

Greetings,

Please be informed that I am retiring from the Oshkosh Recreation Department effective June 1, 2020. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 39 years of service to the Oshkosh community. The aspect that I anticipate I will miss the most upon leaving, will be the interaction that I have shared with staff and with all of the many program participants over the years. Several long term friendships developed with the opportunity to work with so many people. I feel very fortunate to have worked and lived in Oshkosh as the Community and School District have been very good to me. I plan to recreate as much as possible in my retirement.

Please welcome Kabel Helmbrecht as the new Director for the Oshkosh Recreation Department. Kabel joins the Recreation Department from the Appleton Parks and Recreation Department. Kabel will continue to provide Oshkosh with excellent leadership and recreational opportunities!

Thank you Oshkosh!

Al Wenig

Director of Recreation-Retired

2020 SUMMER PROGRAM REGISTRATION/STATUS UPDATE

As of May 28, 2020 please be informed that the status of our summer programs is still unknown due to the Covid-19 virus.  As you may be aware, per state mandate, the school buildings and grounds in the Oshkosh Area School District will be closed at least through June 30 with no definitive date for reopening after that.  Please click on this link,(https://bit.ly/2XLwmnF) for additional information on this subject from Dr. Vickie Cartwright, Superintendent of Schools.

The status of other program locations outside of our school facilities is also unknown at this time.

The original schedule for our summer programs will be revised from what appears in our 2020 Summer Activity Guide.  The revised schedule will be announced when determined and will be included with our online registration program (https://oshkoshrecdept.cr3.rschooltoday.com/).

The initial date for summer program registration is yet to be determined due to the unknown availability of program facilities.  We will announce the date as soon as it is known.

The following programs have already been cancelled for this summer:

  • Youth Golf Lessons
  • Youth and Adult Tae Kwon Do Lessons
  • FLL Bootcamp
  • Horseback Riding Camps
  • Adult Swim Lessons
  • Pollock Community Water Park
  • Sailing (please see the International Youth Sailing of Oshkosh Facebook page for open sail opportunities).
  • Swim Team
  • Swim Lessons (All)
  • Adam Gundlach Swim Meet
  • Playgrounds
  • Sports of All Sorts
  • Gymnastics and Tumbling
  • Are you Game?

  • The June class of Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS).  

Our Adult Sport programs are also currently on hold as our indoor facilities are not available through June and the use of outdoor facilities (softball diamonds) is based on their release by the city and county park departments.

We will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available.

Thank you.
