Message from the Mayor
Welcome to the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s Spring / Summer 2016 Recreation Guide: your handbook to this community’s range of indoor and outdoor activities. Whistler’s municipal programs cater for every age, from infant to senior, and offer programming at venues including Meadow Park Sports Centre, Whistler Public Library, Myrtle Philip Community School, Whistler Secondary School, Spring Creek Community School, Spruce Grove Field House, Lost Lake PassivHaus and Whistler Youth Centre. New this year, is the Woodland Wanderers for 4 to 5 year olds on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It is a play-based, outdoor preschool program which encourages children to connect with the natural environment in a physically active way. A second new program offering is the range of basketball programs for grade 2 to 12. For infants and preschoolers, there are parent and baby fitness classes, swimming classes, preschooler art, sport, science, ballet and musical programs. For children, there is swimming, dance, cooking classes, musical theatre, and science. During summer break, there are five camps and sports programs. These run at Myrtle Philip Community School and run from July 4 to September 2—just make sure you register early to reserve a spot. For youths, Whistler’s Youth Centre is a great place to socialize, play pool and table tennis, or skateboard on the mini ramp. This spring the outdoor Whistler Skate Park will reopen with an exciting series of improvements designed with input from the skate park’s most enthusiastic users: many of them local youths. In addition, young people can enjoy swimming classes, aquatic leadership programs, babysitting courses, and lifeguarding qualifications. Adults can try drop-in and league sports, weight training, Zumba, yoga, TRX, swimming, skating, pottery, and squash. Seniors can choose weight classes, Zumba, yoga, Nordic walking for bone fitness, and lifestyle programs for a strong heart. The municipality is committed to delivering a diverse and accessible recreation program at our many facilities and parks. From the Meadow Park Sports Centre hub to our 31 parks, 40 kilometres of Valley Trail and a network of hiking and biking trails, our community is a recreation paradise with something for everyone. Have a wonderful summer! Nancy Wilhelm-Morden Mayor Resort Municipality of Whistler

Working for the Resort Municipality of Whistler has allowed me to expand my experience in municipal recreation, a career that I have found so fulfilling over the past 10 years. I have developed a valuable athletic foundation thanks to sports programs and facilities available to me as a child that has allowed me to take full advantage of the adventure playground in my new backyard today.

Sam Strong, Program Leader My name is Sam Strong and I have worked for the Recreation Department for just over two years. I started out as a Program Leader for the KOTG program shortly after I moved to Whistler in 2013. I am now a preschool teacher as well as one of the creators of the new LIT program. With my background in recreation studies, I love how Whistler has an endless outdoor playground for creating teachable moments and fostering a sense of adventure. Whistler is an amazing city that is always encouraging positive participation in its community. Through recreation, I want to help encourage that sense of positive change for the children in our programs. You may see me making silly faces, or painting myself purple. I believe the messier the activity, the more fun you have. The mountains stole my heart, and I am excited to see what fun will be created in the coming year!
Does your 10-12 year old stay home for short periods of time on their own? Are you considering leaving your child alone for a couple of hours? This course prepares kids to be safe while at home alone.

Physical Literacy Fundamental Movement Skills Mastering Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) is the most important step in developing physical literacy. FMS are basic movement skills taught through games and activities that engage children and motivate them to continue in an activity. While these basic skills are fun in nature, they also serve the purpose of teaching the essential skills required as a foundation for more complex physical activities and sports. It is important that all children develop a good base of these skills before puberty to optimize both future performance and lifelong activity.
Do you know about Physical Literacy? Just like reading and writing, children have to learn how to move. Goal of the Whistler Physical Literacy Initiative Every child in Whistler will have the opportunity to develop both physical literacy and games literacy. And that there will be a variety of activities for all individuals to promote lifelong physical activity and participation for life. Physical Literacy Definition Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (International Physical Literacy Association, 2014) www.physicalliteracy.ca Literacy is defined as: A person’s knowledge of a particular subject or field, for example, computer literacy. Therefore, Physical Literacy is: The mastering of fundamental movements skills. Physically literate individuals: • Demonstrate a wide variety of basic human movements, fundamental movement skills and fundamental sports skills. • Move with poise, confidence, competence and creativity in different physical environments (on the ground, both indoor and outdoor; in the air; in and on water; on snow and ice). • Develop the motivation and ability to understand, communicate, apply and analyze different forms of movement. • Make choices that engage them in physical activity, recreation or sport activities that enhance their physical and psychological wellness, and permit them to pursue sport excellence commensurate with their ability and motivation. www.canadiansportforlife.ca

There are seven stages within the basic LTAD model: • Stage 1: Active Start (0-6 years) • Stage 2: FUNdamental (girls 6-8, boys 6-9) • Stage 3: Learn to Train (girls 8-11, boys 9-12) • Stage 4: Train to Train (girls 11-15, boys 12-16) • Stage 5: Train to Compete (girls 15-21, boys 16-23) • Stage 6: Train to Win (girls 18+, boys 19+) • Stage 7: Active for Life (any age participant) The RMOW focus’ on programming that develops skills and Stage 1 and 2 and then we hope that we meet everyone’s needs for Stage 7.

Kiersten Davis, Head LifeGuard Recreation has been, and always will be, such a huge part of my life, and I feel so fortunate to be a part of the recreation community here in Whistler. As a kinesiology major, avid runner and competitive swimmer, I have always had a passion for activity and sport, as well as health and wellness. Since moving to Whistler in the fall of 2013, I have fallen in love with this town and everything it has to offer. From the skiing, to the hiking, to the biking, to the people, to the beautiful mountain backdrop I get to work in front of every day, I truly can’t imagine my life anywhere else. My position here at Meadow Park allows me to contribute to the aquatic environment, in particular, interact with locals and visitors alike, and give back to community that I value so much.

Endurance is built on a 300m swim. Front crawl and back crawl distances are increased to 75m each.
RCSK 9
RCSK 10
This level refines the front crawl (100m), back crawl (100m), elementary back stroke (50m) and breast stroke (25m), and encourages swimmers to combine different kicks for fitness (3 mins).
