We’re celebrating 20 years of community with brand new NECC anniversary t-shirts!

Shirts are available to order for $25, and make a great gift for friends and family. Orders will take about 2–3 weeks to arrive at the center.

A heartfelt thank-you to NECC founding members Michael Roth and Kieu-Oanh Nguyen, whose generous support helped make these shirts possible.

New Categories for Fitness and Movement Schedule

Our August Fitness & Movement schedule is here — with a fresh approach to how we categorize classes. Instead of grouping by age, we’re highlighting what each class offers by organizing them into three categories: Dance & Cardio, Mind & Body Awareness, and Strength & Conditioning.

While many classes could fit into more than one category, we’ve selected the one that best represents each class’s focus. Don’t worry — the classes themselves haven’t changed, and our amazing instructors continue to offer modifications and progressions to meet a range of abilities.

This shift is all about making it easier for you to find the right fit, no matter your age or experience level. Check out the updated schedule and get moving with us this August!

End of Summer Closure

Aug. 25 - Sept. 1

Each year, in order to maintain our excellent water quality, we close the pool at the end of August to drain and refill it. Continuing the tradition from the last three summers, this year we will be utilizing this period to both service the pool and provide our staff with a well-deserved break by fully shutting down the center.

The NECC facility will be closed from August 25th to September 1st.

We truly appreciate your support and understanding as we give our hardworking staff a chance to enjoy rest and relaxation.

Our Under the Sea Mermaid campers got the surprise of the summer last Friday with a visit from a real-life mermaid! After traveling a long journey from the Oregon Coast, Mermaid Sandy splashed into our warm water pool to share a little seaside sparkle.

She showed our campers how to swim like a mermaid, sing ocean songs, and hunt for hidden treasures beneath the waves.

Thank you, Mermaid Sandy, for making such a magical memory for our campers!
