interest in recreational activities in the South Carroll area. All members are
volunteers except for the Community Coordinator who serves as a liaison with
the Carroll County Bureau of Recreation. The Freedom Area Recreation Council
works in cooperation with the Carroll County Department of Recreation and
Parks.
The
Freedom Area Recreation Council oversees the general operation of all programs
sponsored by or affiliated with the Council. The Community Coordinator
schedules all school and athletic fields for our recreational use.
Program fliers are distributed in Carroll County Public Schools in
September, December, April and June.
Freedom
Area Recreation Council reminds you to park only in designated areas and obey
“NO PARKING ZONES” at all school and park facilities.

All Parents of children participating in FARC events and programs. Please
remember that use of school/public facilities is a privilege allowed us by the
individual school principal. Please ensure that your children are supervised at
all times, especially siblings of program participants. All children must be
escorted into and out of the building.
