Uh-oh, we had to cancel:
Regrettably, if a minimum number of registrants is not met, we may have to cancel or combine classes due to insufficient
registration. These decisions are made prior to the course start date. Please register early to avoid disappointment. A 100%
refund is granted when we cancel a program. When a class has been cancelled due to instructor illness or weather conditions,
a class will be added on at the end of the session. If this is not possible, a credit will be placed on your account in the amount
of the class missed.
Sorry, the course is full:
If a program is full, please ask staff to put your name on our waitlist. Staff reviews these lists continually and we will do our best
to accommodate those waitlisted.
Customer Satisfaction:
We care about your experience in our programs. Please contact one of our Programmers directly to discuss any questions,
comments, or concerns that you have with our recreation programs.
Extended Illness / Injury:
In cases of extended illness or injury, a prorated refund or credit may be granted upon provision of a medical note.
Missed Classes:
Classes missed due to sickness, vacation, or other reasons will not be refunded or credited.
Oops, changed your plans?:
A credit in the form of a gift card or a refund will be issued if we receive withdrawal notification one (1) week prior to the course
start date. If less than one week’s notice is given, no refund or credit will be issued. In the case of week-long camps, we
require notification two (2) weeks in advance of the program start date. There may be other exceptions to these guidelines.
In some cases, these exceptions will be noted in the individual course description. To request a refund please contact the
facility that is offering your program.

essential qualities that influence movement, understand the health benefits of

responsibility for physical literacy by freely choosing to be active on a regular
basis. This involves prioritizing and sustaining involvement in a range of meaningful and personally challenging activities as an integral part of one’s lifestyle.

Herbal Workshop
Laughter is the Best
Medicine
Today, our society is fast-paced and
stressful. In all the hustle and business of
our day we often forget to smile or even
laugh at ourselves. Dr. Patch Adams
of the Gesundheit Institute (developer
of laughter based medicine) once said,
"Humor is an antidote to all ills." Laughter
relieves stress, releases dopamine, can
contribute to heart health, and can be
used as an accompanying treatment for
those with depression. Most of all, it just
simply feels great to laugh. Please join us
for a hearty laugh and a jolly good time!
Have you ever wondered about the
plants that grow around you? Have you
ever wondered what those plants can
be used for? This course will cover 10
plants that grow in our area and how
we can use them for our health and
healing. This course includes identifying
local herbs, harvesting herbs, drying/
processing them, and using them
safely. In this class you will experience
those herbs in tea tastings, foot baths,
and compresses. You will go home with
herbal monographs and samples of the
herbs. Let's have fun learning about our
plant allies!
