What’s New this Spring?

Spring, considered the season of renewal, is a good time to venture out and try something new. Whether you’re a child, teen or adult, there are a number of new activities offered this spring for you to experience.

For the under 5 crowd (pages 14–19), a Yoga for Kids program with parent participation, PeeWee Tennis and Lil Baseball are all fun ways to instill a lifelong love for physical activity.

Older youth (pages 19–26) can try their hand at the new Creative Writing, Arts and Crafts Exploration, or Young Rembrandts Cartooning. They can do something physical, too, and sign up for GO FAR (also known as ‘Go Out For A Run’), a comprehensive fitness program for 3rd–5th graders.

Teens (pages 26–29) can spend spring break visiting five different (and close by) college campuses to see which school and community might be the best fit for them, and then follow up with College Success 101—a two-session class designed to prepare students to be successful in college. Teens also have the opportunity to join the inaugural Muggle Quidditch League, a sport based upon the game played in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series. And a new recreational volleyball league is starting up for girls ages 12–14.

Designed to help freshmen succeed in college. Studies have shown that the majority of students who drop out of college do so in their first year. Many factors contribute, including: not having a connection to the college, deficient study skills, a lack of direction, and ineffective management of time. This class will educate students about the issues facing new college students and provide them with success strategies to take with them when they start college. Class topics include: deciding on a major, time management and other college success strategies, staying healthy in college, and getting involved in the college campus. Instructed by higher education professionals with extensive experience in Student Life and Career Exploration Counseling. $15 materials fee due to instructor at first class.

Spring is a time for new beginnings and the blooming of a fresh new season. What better way to escape spring cleaning, than to discover your inner author and release your endless creativity at the two-day Danville Daycation Writing Retreat, presented by the Town of Danville and National Park Service. Writing is an art form that belongs to all people.

Based on the belief that every person has a unique, original voice, published author Teresa Burns Gunther’s one-day writing workshop on Saturday will invite you to create and shape stories and memoir while exploring the art and joy of writing. We’ll write in response to prompts that will evoke memories and ideas and encourage you to focus on bringing your writing to life with concrete details, specific sensory description and dialogue. On Sunday, participants will be whisked away to the Eugene O’Neill Tao House in the upper hills of Danville for a customized tour of the historic site.
