A Letter from Community Services It’s summer in Los Alamos...

Dear Community, Visitors, and FriendsThe days are longer and warmer. We have the gentle summer breeze in our face. What are we going to do today! If you need a little inspiration look no further. This Activity Guide is packed with education, fun, and physical opportunities in our community.

Indoors or outdoors, I think you will find something to enjoy. Indoors, you can enjoy the Library Summer Reading Program, an art class at the Fuller Lodge Arts Center or visit the Leisure Lagoon. Outdoor enthusiasts may find the Summer Concerts Series, Skating at the ice rink, Derby Bouts, or Summer Camp at PEEC to their liking. Enjoy one of these or any of the other fantastic offerings in the guide.

The entire community and region is a buzz with the release of the Christopher Nolan movie Oppenheimer releasing in July 2023. How are you showing your “Oppie”? Look for “Oppie” promotions around town this summer.

If life has thrown a challenge your way, the Social Services team can assist with a variety of services to help you get back on track. We can help with basic services, short term needs, or just someone to talk with. Many of our community partners also can assist you in this challenging time.

In this guide, you’ll find summer possibilities galore, and I am sure you will find something to enjoy as you “Discover LA today”!

Sincerely,

Cory Styron Community Services Department Director

Water Fitness Class Schedule Monday & Wednesday 9:00 - 10:00am Deep Water Fun & Fitness 11:00am - 12:00pm Therapy Fun & Fitness 5:30 - 6:30pm Shallow

Aquatic exercise promotes and enhances physical and mental fitness. The water’s unique properties allow the pool to provide an environment for people of all abilities. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact that is easier on joints and water resistance challenges the muscles. The beauty of water is the ability to offer aerobic activity, resistance training and flexibility all at the same time. Water is thicker than air, so muscles get stronger.

Waterworks!

Therapy Fun & Fitness

Fitness Classes Deep Water Fun & Fitness: Zero impact, comfortably paced class that uses the water’s resistance to improve your fitness, flexibility, range of motion, strength, and balance.

Therapy Fun & Fitness: Low impact, warm-water class held in the therapy pool. Includes working on range of motion, toning, stretching and balance. Participants with orthopedic concerns, arthritis, asthma and other conditions have found this class to be beneficial. The maximum class size is 18 students.

WaterWorks!: A low impact, but effective water aerobics class designed to improve flexibility, range of motion, strength, muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance while using the resistance of the water to cushion the feet, knees and back. May use equipment including noodles, belts, bands and boards. Water shoes recommended.

Aqua Zumba: Splashing, stretching, twisting – even shouting, laughing, hooting, and hollering! Salsa, Merengue, Disco, and more in chest deep water for a great low impact but challenging workout.

Integrating the Zumba philosophy with traditional aquatic fitness, Aqua Zumba classes blend it all together into a workout that's cardio-conditioning, and body-toning. Water shoes recommended.

Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga (SUP): Take your fitness routine to the mat -- a floating mat. SUP Yoga is a combination of paddleboarding and yoga practice. It challenges you to find another level of balance and focus your mind, all while floating atop the water. Think it sounds hard? Take a deep, centering breath; it's easier than you think, and perfect for both yoga and paddleboarding newbies.

Safety Note: All deep-water classes use flotation belts for support.

Swimming skills are not necessary. Participants should be comfortable in deep water. If you arrive late or leave class early please include time for an individual warm up and cool down. Students work at own level.

Aldo Leopold's Journey August 12

Don Perkins: A Champions Life - Author talk with Dr. Richard Melzer July 27

Don Perkins was one of the most honored athletes in the history of the Dallas Cowboys and had been a Lobo All American football player at UNM. His life was complex, and at times, controversial. He experienced the traumas of racial discrimination, death, divorce, football-related injuries, and a never-ending search for his own identity. He ventured into sportscasting, public speaking, community relations, big-rig trucking, government work—and even amateur theater where he portrayed Frederick Douglass and other famous Black leaders. Through it all, he remained a kind, unassuming, charismatic man, universally admired by family members, friends, and millions of fans. Don Perkins passed away in 2022.

New Mexico Humanities Council has partnered with the library system to bring Aldo Leopold to life in this living-history portrayal of the famed conservationist. Aldo Leopold is thought to be the father of wildlife ecology and our national wilderness system. He was a forester, philosopher, educator, and writer. His book, The Sand County Almanac, one of the most widely read on conservation, has been translated into 15 languages. What is most pertinent about his teachings is that his words, many written 100 years ago, are even more relevant today than when he wrote them—When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. Aldo Leopold will be portrayed by Steve Morgan, a landscape architect who teaches design courses at Yavapai Community College in Arizona and has worked extensively in urban design planning in Arizona and New Mexico.

Family Friendly Hiking Trails Los Alamos County has many trails in its network, which will accommodate most skill and fitness levels. Below is a list of trails that are suitable for family hiking fun. Refer to the corresponding Trailhead Guide for full trail descriptions, maps, and directions to the trailhead.

OPEN SPACE & TRAILS Located on the eastern flank of the Jemez Mountains, Los Alamos enjoys a mountain backdrop amid the orange cliffs of the Pajarito Plateau. The town spans three miles of the plateau, interrupted by deeply incised canyons that offer natural escapes within the town’s limits. White Rock lies on the edge of the 1,000-foot deep White Rock Canyon, carved by the Rio Grande.

The canyons and mesas in and around the County are linked by 100+ miles of trail network. Hikers and runners, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and other trail users delight in the variety to choose from. The trails offer a quick escape from the busy pace in town, a way to commute to work, an easy stroll or a physical challenge, and a chance to observe wildlife or soak in the views.

Looking for a Trailhead?

Watch for the “Trailhead” signs along major roads throughout the County.

Using the Open Space & Trails Los Alamos County Open Space is open to non-motorized use only.

Hiking, running, horse travel, and mountain biking are permitted on County trails.

The project started in 1942 and Los Alamos was one of three secret cities of the Manhattan Project, the other two being located in Hanford, Washington and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the waning days of World War II – forever changing the world.

Whether you are enjoying a groomed trail in a developed area or venturing into the backcountry, remember you are traveling in an environment with unpredictable wildlife and changing weather conditions.

BRADBURY SCIENCE MUSEUM

LOS ALAMOS FARMERS MARKET

Approximately 60 interactive exhibits trace the history of the WWII Manhattan Project, highlight LANL’s current and historic research projects related to defense and technology, and focus on laboratory research related to national and international economic, environmental, political, and social concerns.

The basis for the Farmers Market is that every New Mexico family deserves access to fresh food, and farmers should be able to stay on their land, keep water and seeds in production, and preserve agricultural knowledge. Supporting local growers, ranchers and food producers preserves cultural identity and traditions, along with creating valuable community gathering places. It also keeps important food dollars circulating in our hometowns where it is needed most.

Los Alamos Farmers Markets Thursdays, May - October Saturdays, June - September

Purchase locally grown/raised foods, direct from the farmers. Picked or made fresh, you can find fruit, vegetables, baked goods, body products, honey, butter, ungraded eggs, apple cider, jams and jellies, organic seeds, locally raised meat, herbs and vegetable starts, and plants for the indoors and outdoors. EBT, Dufb & most major credit cards accepted. Information on the Farmers Market and to sign up to receive the weekly newsletter: LosAlamosMainStreet.com/programs 7:00am - 12:30pm Thursdays, Ashley Pond Park 8:00am -12:00pm Saturdays, Ashley Pond Park FREE Admission For more information contact (505) 929-6579 or email talacook@windstream.net

LOS ALAMOS NATURE CENTER

Nature Playtime provides an opportunity for toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers to explore the natural world with PEEC’s educators. Each playtime features outdoor play, sensory exploration, and activities focusing on a theme in nature.

The Pajarito Environmental Education Center welcomes people from all over the county, country and globe to visit the Los Alamos Nature Center and explore the Pajarito Plateau.

Equipped with a full-dome planetarium, wildlife observation room, indoor and outdoor play areas, and interactive indoor and outdoor exhibits, the Los Alamos Nature Center is a great place to orient to the region and enjoy breathtaking views of our canyons, mesas, mountains, and skies.

Passport to the Pajarito Plateau Ongoing

This is a fun program to get families outside, exploring our beautiful trails together. Los Alamos County, Bandelier, the Santa Fe National Forest, and the Valles Caldera have so many great trails, and now, thanks to support from the Delle Foundation, Clif Bar Family Foundation, Kate Svitek Memorial Foundation, and George and Helen Cowan Trust, we’re giving you an easy way to discover them.

Here’s how it works: 1.

As you hike the trails inside the passport, look for a wooden post or a bench with a small metal plate on it

2.

When you find the post, make a rubbing with your crayon rock

3.

Bring the passport back to the nature center after you’ve hiked 2, 5, 8, and 12 trails, and you’ll earn a prize that you can use on your next trail adventure. (On Passport III, come back after you’ve hiked 8 and 12 hikes).

Restorative Justice This is an approach to justice in which the response is an organized meeting between the victim and the youth offender. This approach aims to provide the offender the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they caused, give them an opportunity to redeem themselves, and discourage them from causing further harm.

As a victim, this provides an active role in the process.

Resource Specialist Program The goal of this program is to surround the youth within our community with the support to empower them to thrive in school and life. We provide connections to services for mental health, basic life needs, academic needs, social skills, special needs, and MORE! The Resource Specialist builds relationships with healthcare providers and others to provide assessments, identify challenges, resources needed, and assist with case coordination.

One Circle These are structured support groups for boys (Boys Council) and girls (Girls Circle), ages 10-18. Sessions are guided by an adult facilitator, to promote a supportive environment and provide a safe place to speak about issues. Topics focus on improving decisionmaking, self-esteem, resilience, substance abuse, violence, bullying, definitions of success, and family & relationship dynamics.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Classes are offered throughout the year to adults who regularly interact with young people, ages 10-18. The course introduces common mental health challenges, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan on how to help young people in a crisis and non-crisis situation.

Sessions are typically held at the Los Alamos Elementary, Middle, and High Schools.
