School partnerships

A resource for families. Income for your school.

School's closed — and parents still have to work.

On average, students are out of school 80-90 weekdays per year. Recess helps parents find and book camps, classes, and activities for those tricky out-of-school days. And the best part? When parents book, your school or PTA gets money back!

Passive income, paid out monthly. No cost to schools.

How it works

We designed this program to be as hands-off as possible for busy parent volunteers. Here's all you need to do:

Sign up for your school code

No upfront fees, no bake sales, no donation drives
Simply enter your information in the form below to generate a school code. Parents will be able to use this code when they checkout to route a percentage of their order back to your school or PTA. Once this code is set up, the funding flows automatically into whatever account you choose. Easy peasy!

Recess provides resources to help families fill the gaps

Beyond our site, where parents can search for camps directly, Recess sends each school partner a monthly roundup of nearby coverage options matched to your specific days off — a ready-to-share attachment for your parent communications or social posts, giving families an easy way to find coverage when school is out.

Receive passive income

Collect funds on purchases parents are already making
When parents book programs through Recess using your school's unique code, a percentage of that order goes directly to your school or PTA. Recess pays out earnings every month and includes a breakdown with orders for full transparency.

Helping you help families

We provide resources to help your families find coverage, and those bookings turn into funding for your PTA or school.

The monthly roundup

Every month, Recess sends a ready-to-use roundup of upcoming days off and local activities families can book — just drop it into your next newsletter, social post, or class update. We handle the research; you get the credit for being a go-to resource for families.
