can be successful at something, even if it's not school-level sports or club level sport.”

The complex doesn't just o er sport and exercise capabilities, but plans for art and music are in the works.

“We have things that are not specifi cally sports but they’re active.”

The center’s mission, Massey continued, is to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of children and adults in Culpeper, Madison and Orange area.

Activities held at the center can be enjoyed by purchasing a day pass, enrolling in a specifi c program or activity, or through a month-to-month or annual membership. For those who are unable to pay, need-based scholarships or free passes will be available.

In August 2021, Culpeper Wellness Foundation hosted a ceremonial breaking of ground on the multimillion dollar recreational center.

Two years ago, the foundation announced its intent to build the 17,759-square-foot facility at the site of its new o ce space on Crossroad Parkway.

The center is adjacent to the fullyequipped fi tness center that opened earlier this year. The fi tness center hosts group exercise classes, youth fi tness classes, yoga, meditation, small group training and personal training.

The new center is part of the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, which also manages Powell

Wellness Center and the Free Clinic of Culpeper. maria@culpepertimes.com

Culpeper residents and the Culpeper County Sheri ’s O ce alike celebrated National Night Out at the Old Country Store on Aug. 2.

National Night Out is a nationwide event intended to enhance relationships between communities and law enforcement by bringing them together. This fun social evening generates support for local anti- crime/drug e orts, strengthens neighborhood spirit, and fi rst responder-community partnerships. It also sends a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and watching activities.

Town of Culpeper Police celebrated by holding multiple simultaneous block parties, cookouts and visits from fi rst responders in 13 town neighborhoods.
