Our Programs
Learn to Swim
El Plastiki Crew
Our El Plastiki group removes trash throughout our neighborhoods, keeping our streets, sidewalks, and shared spaces clean for everyone who calls Capistrano Villas home. It's rooted in a simple belief: the ocean begins at our front door.
GO2 Bike Program
GO2 anywhere on a bike: the beach, the mountains, the desert. We meet the 2nd Saturday of every month to teach bike maintenance and repair, giving participants the hands-on skills to keep their bikes running and their rides going further.
GO Bend-A-Rod
Go Bend-A-Rod teaches kids how to fish — from casting a line to reading the water. We use public transportation to get there, giving participants hands-on lessons in fishing manners, respectful transit riding, and the patience and confidence to navigate their community.
