NEW Growing Old, Getting Strong
This program is fitness like you have never seen it. Rather than a boring, obligation based, unproductive exercise program, Growing Old Getting Strong will be fun, purpose driven and more productive than anything you have done before, and it will give you the keys to unlock the door that stands between you and re-learning the joy that movement can bring. Designed by an older adult for older adults these classes will put you back in touch with your body and give you the tools to move better and feel better. I emphasize better before more and show you how to find the intensity in simplicity. My goal is to enable you to regain the excitement that freedom of movement can bring and take that excitement into your daily life. Michael Campi. Wildwood Park. Meet at the covered picnic tables.

NEW Owl Prowls
Join us at the Nature Center for a family friendly owl prowl. What a hoot! Kiddos will think like a scientist as we dissect owl pellets in the science lab and learn about native owl species in our area. Brush up on your night vision as we end the evening with an owl prowl around the Nature Center to look for our nocturnal, feathery friends. Don’t miss out, it’s going to be totally owlsome! These prowls will meet at the Chico Creek Nature Center, Tucker Hall building, and walks are held on flat terrain. This is not a drop-off program and all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. There is a $5 supply fee payable to the instructor. *Walks range from 1 to 1.5 hours, with flexible end times. For the full experience, and the safety of wildlife, we ask you to leave all pets and strollers at home. Headlamps are recommended and not provided.
