KCE has been partnering with our community for over 40 years to provide opportunities for residents to learn, play and grow for a lifetime. In 1976, the townships of Auburn and Bainbridge and the Kenston Board of Education established the Auburn-Bainbridge Recreation Board to operate and maintain playgrounds, playing fields, gymnasiums and any other recreational activities for the residents of Auburn and Bainbridge Townships. While it is now more frequently known as Kenston Community Education (KCE), its mission of providing recreational and enrichment opportunities for individuals of all ages remains the same. Their goal is to provide the highest level of service and the broadest selection of programs at the most affordable prices. They also maintain the schedule for the township and district playing fields and after-hours use of school facilities.
In 2016, they moved their base of operations to Gardiner Center and are now able to offer programs for Senior Adults and toddlers during the school day. KCE is a non-profit, self-funded business that does not receive any direct taxpayer funds for operation.
