Martial Arts in the Park
(Sessions for ages 6 – 15) We had so much fun last year, the Martial Arts are coming to the park with Karate Fun Days! Students will learn age appropriate basic self defense karate moves while having fun! We will learn blocking, shifting, how to properly punch hand targets, and talk about strategies to keep ourselves safe in everyday situations. Students should wear sneakers, a short sleeve shirt and either shorts or sweat pants. We recommend sunscreen, a baseball cap and a bottle of water. This class will be taught by 4th degree black belt, Wendi Barker, who has been teaching self defense for over 9 years. Wendi owns and operates Tiger Martial Arts in Freeland.

Skimboard Camp
Learn how to glide on the tide! Owners of "Jack'd Skimboards" and friends will be teaching the technique, skills and safety issues of skim-boarding at Double Bluff beach. This fun and growing water sport has been around since the 1920's and has only in recent years come into its own. It's a great sport you can do by yourself or with your friends, with low cost output, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the beach. This 3-day, intensive camp will start with the basics of skim-boarding and progressively build on the student's skills each day to give them a greater mastery of the sport. On the last day, students will celebrate with a pizza party and will receive a Jack'd Skimboards t-shirt. A skim-board will be provided if you don't have one. Space is limited so register early. Bring: Beachwear, change of clothes, towel, sunscreen and a lunch (except Thursday).
