We will make some ferments, have some baking trials, create our own salad dressing recipes, experiment with moisture, textures, and emulsions, and experience the 5 tastes (sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami). Participants ought to have a curious palate as we are going to taste our way through the camp.

Thrive- A Hybrid Homeschool Program Fall 2016 through Spring 2017 Thrive is a hybrid homeschool program that provides structured, adult-led classes as well as open structured, guided exploration sessions in a warm, inviting space. Students spend their days learning and creating while spending time with other children and adults who will inspire and guide them. A wonderful opportunity for social experiences, creative expression and adult and student led learning Our mission at Thrive is to inspire a life-long love of learning by respecting each person’s individual interests, strengths, and capabilities. It is a place where children are free to learn, inspire, imagine, create, play, and shine! Classes are led by adults from our community who have an interest or skill that they are excited to share and teach. All classes are hands on and project based and meet a minimum of three state standards. All of our instructors have a clear background/ fingerprint clearance and have been hand selected to provide your student a quality, caring class experience. New classes every 7 weeks means there is something for everyone. Open structured hours offer students the opportunity to explore their varied interests with the support of caring mentors. Learning invitations are presented in an environment that fosters imagination, self- motivation, and meaningful experiences. Books, websites, magazines, nature, music, math concepts, science projects, art projects, building materials, creative play, and idea sharing will spark the imagination. Advisors work with the children to create an emergent and free flowing curriculum that derives from the imaginations of the children enrolled. State standards are met by reflecting back on work and projects students choose to participate in. • Thrive programs are held at the PV Recreation Center, 2320 North Ave. • Family Information Night on August 18th • Classes and Guided Exploration Sessions start September 1st • Low child to adult ratios

Something to observe in this program is how your child plays adjacent to other children in the playgroup. This cooperative social interaction is called parallel play and helps children begin language development, build confidence, and form relationships. Your child will increasingly learn to share and become aware of other’s emotions, as well as learn cause and effect through trial and error of adjusting and solving problems in play. This class is formatted as a parent/child class with the goal of giving parents an opportunity to bond, meet other parents that have children the same age as theirs, and provide parent support. Not only are our classes a wonderful bonding opportunity for you and your child, they are an excellent way to meet new friends, introduce your child to other children, and find others that will support you through the exciting adventure of parenthood.

Coach Of The Quarter: Jon Simmons & William Cotton (include pictures- EG has them- 2 pictures) Our Coaches of the Quarter, Coach Jon Simmons and William Cotton have the spirit of “love of the game” within him! Not only is he a fantastic flag football coach, but he is an amazing person. Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton always go above and beyond to make sure that their players are better athletes, but more importantly, better people by the end of the season. Coach Simmons says, “To me ‘for the love of the game’ is a nice reminder that all sports are games in the purest form. No matter the level of competition, the slogan serves as a reminder to maintain our focus on enjoyment (love) of the game and not just winning. A focus on a love of the game helps keep interest up and allows everyone to enjoy it.” Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton are masters at using flag football as the vehicle to emphasize character development skills throughout the season. They say, “To help instill a ‘love of the game’ in our players, we focus on making the game enjoyable and structure everything around our third grade audience. We work to hit a good balance between learning and simply having fun while partnering with the parents and others to support our goals. Keeping everyone on the same page and working toward the same goal with a focus on a ‘love of the game’ is imperative.” This is Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton’s first year volunteering with CARD. We are so lucky to have them as a part of our program, and cannot express our appreciation of him enough. Congratulations to our Coaches of the Quarter, Jon Simmons and William Cotton.

Teams may be moved from their league of choice, at the discretion of the Recreation Supervisor, if it is deemed beneficial to the CARD softball program as a whole. Prior team history and records will be considered upon league creation. Spring league champions MAY be moved up to a higher league for the subsequent season if deemed appropriate. Teams who struggle in a given league may also be moved down. Our goal is to facilitate proper league placement over the course of time. While you may not consider yourself a “B” or “C” level team, you may be one of the top teams playing on that evening, making it necessary that you play in a higher (or lower) league.

CARD Facts The Chico Area Recreation and Park District is a California Special District. CARD is neither a County nor City department. While we work alongside the City in several aspects, we are not governed by the City of Chico. We are a separate government entity (a special district) operating under Section 5780 of the California Public Resources Code formed by public vote in 1948.
Did you know that CARD operates and maintains 11 parks totaling 190 acres, 4 community centers, and two aquatic facilities?
CARD is governed by an elected five member Board of Directors, each serving a four year term. CARD has a salaried General Manager who manages the operation of all District staff, programs, and facilities. There are 32 full-time and over 300 part time employees whose duties are directed toward the operation of recreation programs and the maintenance of parks and facilities.
