​Year-Round Programs for Active Living

Recreation and Fitness Resources is a non-profit organization based in Bayfield, WI. Our goal is to create affordable programs and events that promote healthy, fun, and active lifestyles. 

How Our Programs Make an Impact

• We shattered all records with 49,727 visits to the Rec Center in 2016! (averages 140 patrons every day we were open)
• Aspire Martial Arts students took 4,055 classes to improve their physical and emotional health.
• We took 257 youth sailors on the water through North Coast Community Sailing to build leadership skills and appreciation for Lake Superior.
• Our donors provided Financial Assistance for more than 30 families.
• 1% for Recreation gave grants to six other local non-profit organizations in 2016.

Affordable Access to Recreation

We serve everyone from children to seniors, breaking down barriers with affordable costs and our Financial Assistance Program. In this rural and economically-challenged area, there are few other affordable and accessible places for people to exercise to maintain or restore their health. These programs are important for promoting general community wellness, improving health issues, and facilitating rehabilitation.

Need-based Financial Assistance is available for all programming and memberships except our fundraising races. Learn more about our Financial Assistance Program.

Destination Events for the Bayfield Area

We host local events each year to support active living and promote the Bayfield area as a destination for recreation. Our races have become regional events and attract hundreds of participants to boost the local economy and help local businesses.
