Leaves are just starting to turn their beautiful hues and temperatures are cooling – but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed out on all the programming fun at Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR). There is something for everyone now through December.
Programs starting now through the end of the year include:
- Homeschool programs that feature nature, arts and crafts, gym activities and swim lessons.
- “Make and take” programs for the whole family.
- Art classes (for both youngsters and adults) to fine tune artistic skills or develop new ones.
- Swim lessons for all ages, including adults needing a perfect low-impact cross-training workout.
CCPR offers three ways to register for classes: Online at carmelclayparks.com, by visiting the Monon Community Center, or by printing a registration form from the website and mailing it in.
For information about volunteering, contact Rachael Fleck, Volunteer Project Coordinator at rfleck@carmelclayparks.com or call 317-573-4043.
