Our Story:

The Joslyn Adult Recreation Center (JRC) consists of recreational clubs and provides community services and rental facilities in the beautiful community of Cambria, California. It was originally launched as a recreational facility for the local community by the Lions Club of Cambria in 1949. Increasingly successful and popular, the Center expanded its activities to the point that it outgrew the original facilities and, in 1968, a new facility was established under the combined sponsorship of the Lions Club, the Joslyn Foundation and the County of San Luis Obispo.
