Letter from the director

Welcome spring! I just love this time of year. Birds chirping, flowers in bloom,

and the prospect of a busy and exciting time of year are delightful. This past

winter we spent countless hours working on the content for spring and

summer programs and are pleased to offer a wide array of camps once

again. Due to school capital projects, many of our camps are housed in

different locations. As you review the book we hope you will find a camp

that is fulfilling for your child.

Not only are there classes and camps for young people, the City is proud

to have two adult fitness programs lead by Shaker residents. Gigi Roney

instructs the Zumba classes at Thornton on weekday evenings, and

Agata Wojno hosts a new boot camp class. We hope that you will be

interested in participating in these classes that fit very well into our

mission for the community. Spring and summer are great times to be

active, stay healthy and most importantly, to have fun. Enjoy these

wonderful seasons. We hope to see you at Thornton Park.

Be Active. Stay Healthy. Have Fun.

Sincerely,

Alex NicholsDirector
