We hope your families are being careful and staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to resuming more in-person Recreation programs soon.
Children & Youth Sports
Kingdom Basketball 2021 - Registration is now open for this fun, recreational league for boys in Pre-K through 12th grade and girls in Pre-K through 8th grade. Because we are unsure of how COVID-19 might affect basketball season, registration will be on a "wait list" until closer to the season start date. That way, parents are not charged for the sport, then refunded. For details and to register, click here
Virtual Classes for Children
As the new school year begins, we hope to offer a variety of virtual classes for children until in-person classes are available.
Please click on each activity for details.
We hope to offer additional online classes soon.
Adult Exercise Classes
As much as we hoped to start in-person classes by now, we are still being cautious and are now looking to things resuming in the Spring.
A virtual Holy Yoga workshop is being planned, and we will add other adult online options as they become available.

When I wear my Sensory Motor Teacher Hat, I challenge children with motor activities that provide experiences that help their bodies develop while sharpening their perception skills and maturing their neurological systems. Some of the life skills learned in motor class are listening skills, thinking skills, self-control and social growth.
My favorite summer activity
Working at Camp Chapelwood. As Director this requires me to create and implement programs for elementary age students to learn new skills, develop new interests and develop spiritual awareness. The best part of this position is that we have a reunion with former students.
My favorite hobbies
Gardening, cooking and reading.
I think children are the happiest when . . .
They are allowed to be active. They learn best when they are doing!
If I could be anyone for a day, I would be . . .
My granddog Bella. She gets to eat, sleep, swim in the lake and play ball all day and have people loving her hourly.
My worst place to be stuck
In a snowstorm in Colorado. I backed out of a driveway and could not see the dam that was made by a snowplow. I was not even able to open my car door.
My favorite childhood memory
I was an only child so my favorite childhood memories were when I went to friends’ houses and we played board games.
My favorite children’s book
The Little Engine that Could.
The best part of my job
Watching children grow from the seeds planted in preschool, elementary, high school and sometimes college to responsible young adults.
