Your summer is about to get a whole lot cooler! This summer, join us at the new Great Outdoors Waterpark, featuring an exposed timber-frame architectural style, and bringing a mountain resort feel to Lafayette. The most notable and visible amenity is the 21 foot high, doubletrouble flagship slide! These two colorful slide tubes weave together to take aquatic explorers on a high-speed, exhilarating trip into splashy run outs. The two-story Grand Eagle Dump Bucket playfully spills water on visitors every few minutes, and perches high atop the fully accessible, zero-depth-entry leisure pool. This interactive play area features frisky trout, a colorful flower water garden, and an exciting padded log slide. All ages will enjoy taking a relaxing float around the lazy river where voyagers can leisurely ride on tubes and soak up majestic mountain views. Here visitors can also attempt to swing across the Aqua Arch, a first of its kind cargo net destined to challenge the climber in you. The 4,000 square foot bathhouse includes changing areas, inclusive changing rooms, and free lockers. Your crew can cool down and fuel up with a tasty treat from the concession stand and enjoy seating and picnic tables outfitted with shady umbrellas. A secured spot can be reserved by renting a cabana for the day or half-day. Check out page 6 for more information. The original 3,400 square foot pool continues to be an amenity at the waterpark offering dedicated lap lanes, diving boards, aqua basketball, and a large open pool area for unstructured play. Cool off in the region’s coolest new destination waterpark – conveniently located right in your backyard! Join us on May 11 for a ribbon cutting ceremony or on May 28 for the Grand Opening. Find details, admission information, and hours of operations on page 6 or at www.theGOWP.com.

water walking Water Walking introduces new exercise variables such as buoyancy, water resistance, and heat exchange between your body and water that may add to the benefits you get out of exercising in water. • Buoyancy in water - this is the floating part about being in water and helpful in building better balance. • Water pressure and resistance - just being in water can improve circulation and burn fat. • Temperature of water - due to difference in your temperature and that of water you burn more calories. This class is available at your own pace without an instructor. Come 4 days a week or water walk as a cool down to Bootcamp or other classes. Special discounts available to participants registered for bootcamp or water fitness only*. Location: Great Outdoors Waterpark, 500 S. Boulder Rd. code

YOUTH
LAFAYETTE EXPLORERS For young children, meaningful and long lasting learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. This is best accomplished through purposeful play facilitated by highly intentional teaching practices. THE GOALS OF OUR CURRICULUM The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners and form friendships. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. We strive to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but also all through their lives. The activities we plan for children, the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give the children a successful start in school. We provide opportunities for them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them.
SOCIAL: to help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel they are a part of the group.
Emotional: to help children experience pride and self confidence, develop independence and self-control, and form a positive attitude toward life.
Cognitive: to help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.
Physical: to help children increase their large and small motor skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.
► All participants must be potty trained by the first day of class. ► nutrition policy: We provide a valuable foundation for children to learn healthy habits. Our program encourages
nutritional snacks and incorporates activities that promote large motor movement, which are critical components in children’s development.
If you have questions about the Lafayette Explorers Preschool, please contact Sarah Cleland at 303661-1480 or by email at sarah.cleland@cityoflafayette.com. For more information, please visit our website at www.cityoflafayette.com/preschool.

water walking Water Walking introduces new exercise variables such as buoyancy, water resistance, and heat exchange between your body and water that may add to the benefits you get out of exercising in water. • Buoyancy in water - this is the floating part about being in water and helpful in building better balance. • Water pressure and resistance - just being in water can improve circulation and burn fat. • Temperature of water - due to difference in your temperature and that of water you burn more calories. This class is available at your own pace without an instructor. Come 4 days a week or water walk as a cool down to Bootcamp or other classes. Special discounts available to participants registered for bootcamp or water fitness only*. Location: Great Outdoors Waterpark, 500 S. Boulder Rd. code

SENIORS wellness CLASSES Tai Chi Tai Chi is exercise that is easy and gentle. Tai chi develops body awareness that can help seniors to keep their balance. It can also keep seniors healthy and mobile so that they can maintain their independence and lead full lives. It is exercise that is great for newbies, older people and people who don’t like to sweat too much. Last but not least, tai chi is a great tool to help with the “sageing” process, a time in life when self-reflection and experience can lead to growing in wisdom and love.

general interest classes The Industrial City Under Your Feet: Mapping Lafayette’s Long Abandoned Coal Mine Passages Coal production from Lafayette’s mines peaked about 1909. Simpson Mine, at the time the largest coal mine in Northern Colorado, produced over 200,000 tons of coal in 1906. The Simpson’s underground passageways also connected to the Cannon, Strathmore, Mitchell, Excelsior and Gladstone mines and allowed miners to travel underground from one end of town to the other. Larger passageways, called haulage ways, had their own names — Wabash, Timberline and Broadway. Discover the history of the long gone tunnels under your feet, and the formerly thriving industrial city of sorts under Old Town Lafayette.

Burger Recreation Center, Lafayette Senior Center and other city locations and events between June 8 and August 10. Submissions should be returned to the Lafayette Senior Center or Bob L.
