Huckleberry Hike Mount Spokane State Park

HIKING

1 day | ages 15+| In partnership with Friends of Mount Spokane State Park Hike Time: 3.5 hours |Terrain: Moderate with some off trail hiking | Mileage: ~5

The goal of this hike is not to pick a bunch of huckleberries but to learn how to spot them, identify their leaves, and learn about this wild fruit. You will learn techniques for picking, container types, and storing berries in your pack for the hike back. The berries ripen at different times every year, so they could be green, or the patches we go to could already be picked! This hike is led by a huckleberry expert who will take you to berry nirvana, hopefully. There will be a fair amount of off trail hiking so long pants are recommended. Please bring water and trail snacks. Discover Parking Pass Required: discoverpass.wa.gov. Fee includes guides and trekking poles. Meet at Mt Spokane Bald Knob Campground Parking Lot. $49

QI GONG

Qi Gong is a form of gentle exercise and method of self-care used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The physical movements are easy to do and can be done daily to promote self-healing. Research published by the US Department of Health and Human Services concluded that Qi Gong may be an effective exercise modality for those at risk with preventable diseases. It may also reduce inflammation, decrease stress, and improve sleep and flexibility. (2011) Furthermore, Dr. Yufang Lin, MD at the Cleveland Clinic, noted that the potential benefits of practicing Qi Gong may include reduced symptoms of depression, and anxiety, along with positive effects on cardiovascular health and improved balance. (2020)

Walking Qi Gong

6 weeks | ages 10+ | Jeff Thompson Guo Lin Qigong, also known as “Walking Qigong,” focuses on combining walking with specific breathing patterns and stretching that can nourish all five organ systems and may have beneficial effects such as improving blood flow and increasing oxygen intake resulting in improved overall health. This form of Qigong was developed in the 1960s by a Chinese woman named Guo Lin, who based her form on older schools of Qigong and claimed that it helped her overcome uterine cancer and diabetes. This form is also referred to as a healing form because of its use as a therapeutic and preventative practice that is commonly found in clinics throughout China. This class is very fun and invigorating and will be held outside rain or shine! Finch Arboretum. Finch Arboretum, 3404 W Woodland Blvd. $78 13615 Sat. 9/2-10/7

6 weeks | ages 10+ | Jeff Thompson Known as “Nourishing the Interior from Within”, Nei Yang Gong strengthens the bones and tendons. It is also very helpful for creating balance of the four limbs, harmonizing the organs, and improving blood circulation. The form was developed by Dr. Liu Gui Zhen in 1965 as an expansion of the ancient practice of the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Eight Treasures). This form works to connect the energy of the lungs and kidneys to increase oxygen levels and improve energy. Our movement will pay attention to the gentle stretching, rotation, and extension of the spinal column. This is an excellent method for prevention and treatment of conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, digestive problems, hypertension and pain in the lower back and joints. Come learn these beautiful movements and prepare your body for Winter! Finch Arboretum Field House, 3404 W Woodland Blvd. $78

LAWN BOWLING

How-to-Lawn-Bowl Introduction

2 weeks | ages 16+ | Summer evenings on a manicured green next to the river. Rolling grapefruit-sized bowls up to 120 feet, aiming to leave yours closer to the small white “jack” ball than other bowlers. Enjoying summer sunsets, cooler air and companionable friends while improving aim, distance and scoring at this ancient royal sport. Lawn bowling is similar to bocce, but with a bonus: the bowls are elliptical, allowing rolls that curve around opponents’ bowls. We supply the bowls; you show up wearing flat-soled shoes. Pairs of us will show you the basics over four evenings spread over two weeks. Adults need the strength to roll the bowl 120 feet. Questions? Contact Adriano Eva at aeva@spokanecity.org.

Essential Eligibility Criteria Statement:

Essential Eligibility Criteria (EEC) are intended to be a communication resource for anyone considering participating in a Spokane Parks and Recreation *program. The safety and well-being of our participants and staff is a top priority for our programs! Due to the inherent risks associated with our *activities, our programs are open to all individuals who meet the general and program-specific EEC independently or with the assistance of a **companion/trained aid. These criteria are not intended to be exclusionary, rather clearly outline the program’s requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about our EEC, please contact the program supervisor. We may be able to assist you with a ***reasonable accommodation.

General Recreation Essential Eligibility Criteria: Participants must be able to complete the following criteria with or without the assistance of a companion/trained aide who accompanies the participant.

1. Arrive at the program’s meeting location on time and ready to participate.

2. Comprehend and follow instructions given to avoid hazards and/or manage risk.

3. Effectively alert others of personal distress, injury, illness, or the need for assistance.

4. Remain alert and focused for the duration of the program.

5. Wear all required safety gear according to manufacturer standards as necessary.

6. Contribute to a safe environment - inappropriate verbal or physical behavior is not tolerated for any reason

Terms/ Definitions:

* Activity/Program: The term ‘activity’ or ‘program’ describes any outing, trip, or event sponsored by Spokane Parks and Recreation.

** Companion/Trained Aid: In some circumstances, if an EEC can be met with the help of a companion/trained aide participants may be eligible to participate.

•Examples of companions/trained aides include service animals, translators, caregivers, or an individual that can assist a participant with physical, emotional, or communication requirements.

•In the case of a minor needing to meet an EEC with an aide, a parent/ guardian or responsible adult may act as an aide.

•Companions/Trained Aides must be able to complete all EEC.

•Spokane Parks and Recreation will permit the attendance of a participant’s companion at no additional cost to the participant; however, the companion will be responsible for purchasing their own consumable resources/access fees (e.g. food, event tickets, etc.). For your convenience, these costs can be given upon request. Please contact the program supervisor for coordination.

*** Reasonable Accommodation: An accommodation made that will not fundamentally change the nature of a program, would increase unnecessary risk to the participant or others, or would place an undue financial or administrative burden on Spokane Parks and Recreation.
