Meet Our Team

re you ready for some fall color, cooler temps, and camp fires? We are too, but we still have a few warm weather activities left before we fully transition to fall! We had a great summer with Rec On The Go, Summer Tennis League, and our new Mini Warriors Obstacle Course Training Camp. But before we say goodbye to summer, plan to join us for our So Long Summer Shindig in Tudek Park on August 24! For the fall months, we have some great events and programs that will keep you outside and active. Join us for our Dinner and a Movie event, register for some Youth or Adult Flag Football, step into your dance shoes and join us for our Barn Dance, and of course, be thinking about those Halloween Costumes and our Halloween Parade! We’ve got a program, event, or park for everyone, so we hope to see you this fall on the bike trails, in the parks, at a sporting event, or kickin’ up your heels at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center!

YOUTH INSTRUCTIONAL CLASSES

CRPR is thrilled to offer again this learn-to-ride class for children ages 3-5 years. This class teaches kids how to ride on two wheels. The curriculum is built around five 45-minute sessions of learning, fun, socialization, and instruction sure to ignite a passion for riding. Upon completion of the course, children will have the balance and bike handling skills to be on their way to riding on two wheels.

Learn to Ride students learn how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bike, as well as adjust a helmet for proper fit. Most people learn to ride in one session, but even if you don’t you will be equipped with an easy, lowstress way to teach yourself or you can schedule another class.
