Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department Program Highlights - May Park Board Update YOUTH Youth Instructional: Many of our spring programs are winding down and/or coming to a close this month. Floor Hockey Mini Camp and Soccer Mini Camp both concluded this month and Dance will conclude the first week in June. Floor Hockey and Soccer Mini Camps will resume again in the fall while Dance will continue throughout the summer. Registration is currently taking place for our summer instructional programs. Registration numbers in many of these instructional programs including Soccer Fundamentals, T -ball and Golf have increased from previous years. Summer Playground Program & Preschool Playtime: Summer Playgrounds will begin on June 18. Registration is a bit slower than it has been in the past, but we feel that this is a result of the late spring/ summer weather. We will continue to accept registrations for this program throughout the summer. Preschool Playtime registration has reached capacity - both classes are full. Options: Options, our cooperative program with the YMCA, is close to filling. Our maximum is 60 participants and we are currently at 58. A small challenge for our Options group this summer is the fact that they will be sharing the Rice Lake Elementary School facility with Kid's Club. However, we have been communicating regularly with Kid's Club and feel confident that this will not cause any problems. CLUBS: CLUBS has a whole lineup of trips planned for this summer to exciting destinations: Valleyfair, Twins Game, Crystal Cave, Wild Mountain, MN Zoo, St. Louis Park Aquatic Park, and Grand Slam! ADULT Softball: Softball registration is consistent with past years. SUMMER PROGRAMMING The Parks and Recreation Department is in full gear for the summer programming period. We are offering many new and expanded programs. However, without additional facilities, it will be difficult to accommodate or plan future additional programs. ACTIVITIES GUIDE The Summer Activities Guide is at the printer and will be mailed out the last week of May. This guide includes information on many our summer programs and our Performances in the Parks series. It also includes information on our Fall Soccer program and our * New* Tackle Football program. STOP AND SAY "HI" The Parks and Recreation Department would love to see Park Board members at any of our events this summer and throughout the year. If you are in attendance at an event, please be sure to stop and say "HI. " Questions? Please contact Liz Bursack or Barry Bernstein at 651- 982 -2440.
