Shaolin Kenpo karate is a modern martial art that traces its roots to the Shaolin Temple of ancient China. Emphasis is on fast and efficient techniques to train the student to defend against multiple assailants. Effective for men, women and children because it teaches students to evade and counter attacks, rather than trying to meet force with force.

Do you wonder why some children refuse to cooperate in the morning? Are the kids getting into trouble for not listening or lacking focus? Is it a battle every time you ask them to complete a task? Are they "losing it" over seemingly insignificant issues? It's estimated that 69% of American children from infants to teens are literally screaming for more sleep and yet are too wired to get it. Research demonstrates that a mere 41 minutes of sleep deprivation begins to diminsh children's mathematical reasoning skills. Lack of sleep is also related to lower grades, more health issues and impulse control problems. Unfortunately, behaviors that result from sleep deprivation are often misidentified as misbehaviors or symptoms of medical and attention issues. Join best-selling author and licensed child and family educator Dr. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka to discover the scientific link between misbehavior and missing sleep. Learn how parents and professionals working with children can significantly influence how much sleep children get and leave this workshop with practical tools and real-life examples to help you and the children you live or work with get the sleep you need and deserve.

Why Do You Act That Way? Effective Strategies for Introverts and Extroverts to Work Together

Why do some children immediately tell you about their day, while others reply with a one word answer or no answer at all, leaving you to wonder if you have even been heard? Why do some want you to help them "fix" a problem while others want you to simply listen or never tell you about it in the first place? Why do some children seem to like to talk in groups while others prefer to watch and listen? Understanding how children process information, make decisions and recharge is critical information for building relationships that keep you working together for a lifetime. Join best-selling author and licensed child and family educator Dr. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka to learn why we act the way we do.

WINTER/SPRING 2013

Sunday-Saturday, May 5-11 Course# 8058-FSA Spend some time in "Holland" without ever leaving the U.S.A. Picturesque gardens, canals, and authentic Dutch architecture will surround us as our adventure takes us to Holland, Michigan. The Holland Tulip Time Festival invites the world to join the dance to celebrate their Dutch heritage with a festival showcasing their dynamic community and its spectacular tulips. Onward north we go to The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in northern Michigan which was voted by the viewers of Good Morning America (GMA) as the most beautiful place in America. One of the spectacular sights at Sleeping Bear is the sand dunes that peak at over 400 feet. The largest dune system in the world associated with a freshwater lake is right here in Michigan! "High-tail it" to Mackinac Island aboard the Star Line Ferry, the boats that produce the 35-foot rooster tail spray. While crossing, take in the spectacular scenery, including the world's longest suspension bridge which connects Michigan's two peninsulas.

Once on Mackinac Island, enjoy a narrated, horse-drawn carriage tour. See Arch Rock, the Governor's Mansion, and Surrey Hills. The best treat is perhaps the end of the tour, which will be at the Grand Hotel. Since 1887, this has been the crown jewel of the secluded island and beckons us to a bygone era of old-world hospitality and charm. It is here that we find the Grand Luncheon Buffet, extending nearly 100 feet. The nautical theme continues when we visit the famous Soo Locks. This National Historic Site has been in operation since 1855, allowing ships from around the world access to the heartland of America. The two longest locks in the world are located here, and we'll have front row seats when we embark on a narrated boat tour. Your boat will take you through the locks, right along the giant freighters. Our trip home will take us across the Upper Pennisula through Escanaba for our overnight accommodations.

This tour is planned in cooperation with Landmark Tours.

Experience the unique on our tour of the National Mustard Museum, one of the world's largest collections of prepared mustards and mustard memorabilia. In New Glarus "Little Switzerland", you will check into the Chalet Landhaus Inn for a two-night stay. The Chalet Landhaus Inn Restaurant will provide us with a Swiss cookout to round our day of travel. A visit to Green County wouldn't be complete without a stop for cheese. Tour the chalet-style plant that manufactures specialty cheeses at Alp and Dell Cheese Store and Emmi Roth USA. Wash down that cheese with sampling from Minhas Craft Brewery, the second oldest brewery in the nation. Monroe's Courthouse Square will be your source for lunch on your own. We will return to New Glarus, for a guided tour of town and additional opportunities for sightseeing, shopping and relaxing. Fortify yourself with a Swedish dinner with Swiss entertainment at the historic New Glarus Hotel to get ready for another day on the road. Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin home tour will offer an intimate look at 50 years in the life of one of our country's greatest architects. The Old Feed Mill Restaurant in Mazomanie will be providing lunch before we make the drive back to Saint Paul.

This tour is planned in cooperation with Medicine Lake Tours.
