HOOSIER RIVERWATCH - PRE-REQUISITE FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE

This program is designed for those interested in learning more about Hoosier Riverwatch and potentially becoming a volunteer with us! Hoosier Riverwatch is a program of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and was created to increase public awareness of water quality issues and concerns by training volunteers to monitor stream water quality. CCPR has a robust Citizen Science program that includes monitoring the water quality of the streams within our parks.

Our Citizen Science volunteers participate in this program by taking both chemical and physical measurements of the water as well as explore the stream bottom for key invertebrate species that are indicators of water quality. This data is used by our department to help better manage the natural resources of our properties and it also provides water quality information to groups working to protect water resources in our state. The program includes indoor classroom training and outdoor, reallife application of your newly acquired skill. Come prepared with your water shoes! This pre-requisite is designed to train our volunteers on the principles of water quality monitoring and once completed, you will be eligible to sign up as a Citizen Science Hoosier Riverwatch volunteer.

NATURE INTERACTION

POLLINATOR PLANTS IN OUR PRAIRIES

KNEE HIGH NATURALIST

It is never too early to introduce your child to the world of nature. Children are naturally curious about the world around them. In Richard Louv’s book “Last Child in the Woods”, he discusses how today’s children are suffering from Nature Deficit Disorder because we do not let them outside to discover the world of nature. This program is designed to introduce you and your child to the simple things around them. In each class we will discover the wonders of nature by engaging in crafts, stories, and short walk outside exploring nature.

Celebrate National Pollinator Week with us! There are numerous plants that live in our prairies that are not only beautiful and showy but also ecologically beneficial. Pollinators use these plants as food and nectar sources. When we talk about pollinator species, we are talking about the bees, butterflies, moths, flies, bats, and even small mammals. Learn which plants call our prairie home and the specific niche they serve here in Central Park. We will meet in the Westermeier Commons parking lot.

MINDFULNESS AND IMPROV NEW! Mindfulness is all about living in the present moment by acknowledging our thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the body without judgment. Improv aligns well with mindfulness in that it strives to foster spontaneity and creativity because one cannot plan their moment to moment. In this group, we will explore exercises that expand one’s ability to play, actively listen, respond authentically, and ultimately be present for oneself and others. The goal is to fine-tune communication and develop anxiety reduction habits in a fun way without the pressure of performing on a stage. Embracing the “yes” takes practice and this is the space to start!

PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUE

The co-ed Pickleball Ladder League format is designed to create new matchups each week and have players play with players of similar skill levels. Weekly rankings are based on performance.

Players will move up or down the ladder based on wins/losses (not points scored). Each week, players will start in groups of four in the order of ladder ranking. After each game to 11, the winning partnership will move up the ladder and the losing partnership will move down. Partners swap each game. There is a maximum of three wins each league night. After each team’s three games have been played, open play is allowed for the remainder of the time slot when courts are available. Top two players will get free enrollment to the next season of the league. No class on 7/4.

Yoga backbends are the opposite action of our everyday activities such as driving, texting, sitting at computers, and bending to pick up children. The idea of bending our bodies backwards can be somewhat intimidating. Yet, this is just what many of us need to restore balance to our bodies and our lives.

Gretchen Clore (E-RYT 200, YACEP, & RYT-500) will teach you how to use and integrate your muscles to keep you safe and strong in back bending yoga poses.

wellness MINDFULNESS AND IMPROV NEW! Mindfulness is all about living in the present moment by acknowledging our thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the body without judgment. Improv aligns well with mindfulness in that it strives to foster spontaneity and creativity because one cannot plan their moment to moment. In this group, we will explore exercises that expand one’s ability to play, actively listen, respond authentically, and ultimately be present for oneself and others. The goal is to fine-tune communication and develop anxiety reduction habits in a fun way without the pressure of performing on a stage. Embracing the “yes” takes practice and this is the space to start!
