Snacks will be provided every day, and every day there will be play time, followed by homework time. During homework time we like to get a head start on the homework of the day, so that doesn’t have to be done all at home!

The group is meant for kids in the skill levels of 1-3 in the Learn to Swim program. We encourage that all participants be comfortable in the water and prefer that they have done at least one session of regular swimming lessons; however, this is not a requirement. The sessions are one hour in length, with the last 15 to 10 minutes set aside for play! There is a little of everything: Stroke Refinement, Personal Survival, Team Games, Buoyancy and Diving and the always popular playtime! Each session will be different to peak the participant’s interest. Improving basic strokes and water skills as well as introduce more advanced techniques with safety and confidence remaining a priority.

Art Workshop with Ginny Abblett -Simplicity, a Key to Beauty In this six hour workshop we will explore the building blocks of composition, value and color as we create our own works of art. Demonstrations will be done in pastel and you may work in whatever medium you choose - pastel, watercolor, oil, acrylic.

It is my belief that less rather than more is a wise path to follow when making art. If one avoids clutter and instead creates a strong composition, the path to a compelling painting opens. Ginny Abblett teaches art in Taos, New Mexico and in Denver at The Denver Botanic Gardens, The Park Hill Art Club and hosts private lessons at Ginny Abblett Fine Art at 910 Santa Fe Drive.

The Basics of Composition 9am-noon • Composition samples and detective work • Shapes rather than clutter • A strong center of interest • Ginny’s demo • Student practice with one on one assistance What is Value, Anyhow? 1-4pm • Explanation and examples of value and a strong composition • Color and value - what’s the difference?

By assessing these patterns, the FMS identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. The FMS score is used to track progress and identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength.
