WORLD HABITAT DAY

Take part in World Habitat Day and reflect on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is intended to remind the world that we all have the power and responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. Proper habitat for plants and animals is a very important aspect of our ecosystem. Removing nonnative species from our parks is a way to improve habitat and shape the environment around us. Come join us for a day of removing Invasive Bush Honeysuckle, which restrains native plants from growing and providing resources like food and shelter. Participants under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

A WALK WITH NATURE M

ost of us have pretty active lives.

We are constantly searching for ways to find more time to fit in all we want to accomplish, and that may mean cutting out something we really enjoy.

What if there was a way to team up an exercise routine with a bit of nature “along the way?” Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation’s On the Trail to Fitness class was developed to get people moving and enjoying the outdoors in a way that combines walking and fitness exercises.

Monica Cannaley has been a weekly participant in the class since 2014. She quickly professes she has never enjoyed exercising in a gym setting and was searching for a class or activity that combined the two things she loves most: Walking and the outdoors. When she ran across the On the Trail class description in the Program Guide, she was sold.

“I love the way we keep things moving and use what is in nature to build upper and lower body strength which is incorporated into every class. Sometimes we use fences, benches, stones to step up on or we use them for push-ups,” shares Cannaley.

“I’ve met some great friends during the walks as well and that just completes the mind/ body/spirit connection for me.”

To finish reading Monica’s story, visit carmelclayparks.com/park-conversations.

More stories like Monica’s will hit your mailbox this fall in our new issue of Park Conversations!

Payments may not be transferred or refunded after the final program day of the respective program month (i.e. payments made for the month of August 2019, will not be transferred or refunded after August 31, 2019.). All refunds are subject to a $10 service charge for cancellation per participant.

SCHOOL’S OUT REFUND POLICY

Cancellations for a camp week/day must be requested a minimum of two weeks from the start date to receive a full refund, less a $10 service charge for cancellation per camp week/day per camper.

PARENT/GUARDIAN SIGN-IN & SIGN-OUT

Parents/guardians are free to drop-off and pick-up their child at any point during ESE. Each parent/guardian is responsible for walking their child into ESE Before-School; students are not to be dropped off at the school site without accompaniment by a parent/ guardian. Students are only released to individuals listed as “authorized pick-ups” who must be at least 16 years of age and must be listed within the participant’s online account.

Late fees will be assessed to any pickups after 6:00 p.m.; the charge is $1 for every minute late per child (e.g. a child picked up at 6:04 p.m. equals a late fee charge of $4).

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

ESE staff and students will practice live emergency drills throughout the school year simulating various emergencies to ensure proper preparation in the case of an actual crisis during the ESE program.

RECREATION PROGRAMS PROGRAM REFUND POLICY (excludes ESE)
