"Docs in the Park is a medical initiative that promotes all the benefits of being outside in our parks as part of a healthy lifestyle. The core mission of DITP is to promote nature awareness, outside play, family engagement, healthy nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

Frederick County Parks & Rec is there for you and your family in each of those areas as you can see from browsing through the Recreater, but you may not be aware of the cooking and healthy nutrition classes and family engagement programs they offer. In our busy lives and schedules, learning to cook and spending the time understanding healthy diets and nutrition is getting lost along the way. We spend too little time learning about something that is essential to our health and well-being. Learning about and enjoying cooking and healthy eating is an important life skill and family tradition that we hand down from generation to generation. Taking the time (and patience) to be with your family and to learn (or relearn) some basic concepts or new and improved techniques about cooking and healthy foods is closely aligned with LiveWell Frederick and its 5-2-1-0! Initiative. FCPR is excited to further expand on this concept – it’s the right thing for you and your family!"

Get a NUMBER SENSE power workout with Mathnasium of Frederick North, your neighborhood math-only learning center! This class is for 8 scheduled sessions at the Mathnasium of Frederick North Location. Your first session will be an assessment where your child will be assessed to learn exactly what your child knows and what they need to learn or improve on.
