SUMMER
                                         LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

                      Summer Academy Classes
     Summer Academy is a FREE oppportunity for Boys & Girls, Grades K-8th to participate in their choice of classes during
     3 weeks in June. Children can participate in one or in as many classes as they would like. Classes sizes are limited and we
     will not extend beyond these limits. A waiting list will be created once a class is filled. Registrations are not completed until
     they are in the computer software. For this reason, we highly encourage you to register ONLINE to secure your child(s)
     spot in our classes.

     Class content will not change from week to week, therefore, we ask that you do NOT sign your child up for the same class
     week to week. Select classes do have a supply requirement that will be listed within the class description that we ask you
     respect. To make sure class content is age appropriate, age groups will not be negotiable. Children should be enrolled in
     the grade they are going into in the Fall of 2019. ‘R’ Recreation staff will be available in between classes to assist children if
     needed, but it is expected that children will be able to walk to and from each class on their own.

     We could not be more excited about this summer and all the fantastic classes that are being offered. Our instructors truly
     stepped up their game and are bringing creative, fun, and intriguing classes that will leave your child never wanting to leave.
