Q: What should my child wear to dance class? A: Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for free movement without causing a tripping hazard. Tap classes and Sampler classes need Tap shoes; ballet and Sampler classes need ballet slippers, and all other youth dance classes need tennis shoes. We do sell ballet and tap shoes at the Trails Recreation Center. .
Q: Do you offer art supplies for classes, or should participants bring their own? A: We do supply our art classes with different materials. The exception is our pottery class, where adult students need to buy a bag of clay as well as the firing fee, which is sold separately. If you fire your items in your own home kiln, you do not need to purchase the firing fee. This fee covers every piece of art you can create with your 25 lb. bag of clay. Q: When can my child start taking a cooking class? A: Cooking classes begin at age 9 because students will be working with a hot oven and knives. Younger students are not allowed in our cooking class. However, we do offer Cooking and Crafting, which is for students as young as age 5. This class does not use an oven or sharp knives.

MindCraft Trap Escape Room
Sugar and Spice Baking Camp
Can your student escape the MindCraft Trap? In this unique camp, kids learn codes/ciphers, figure out escape challenges and puzzles, and solve Minecraft inspired mysteries. Then, working with other avatars (other students), they will create their own mini, Minecraft-inspired escape room. Will they escape a mine full of creepers and skeletons, find treasure in an underwater temple, or triumph over the Nether dragon? It will be up to them! The last day of camp they will attempt our “MindCraft Trap Escape” experience where they must solve a series of puzzles or be caught in a clever contraption.
In this baking camp you will learn all of the basic knowledge needed to truly become a confident baker. This course will teach basic baking terminology, essential equipment and uses, ingredient functions, and a variety of other baking topics.

about
The District
Trails Park and Recreation District
On November 2, 2023, Arapahoe Park and Recreation District formally became Trails Park and Recreation District. This name change and rebrand was done to better inform our district residents and other community members about the variety of facilities, trails, recreational opportunities, and parks they have at their disposal. We currently own or maintain 20 parks, 9 trail systems, 3 facilities, and more than 300 acres of natural open space throughout Eastern Centennial and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe County. 4 baseball or softball fields 1 football field 12 playgrounds 1 sledding hill
6 outdoor basketball courts 1 frisbee disc golf course 9 multi-use sports field 25 miles of paved walking trails
Featured pictures include the pavilion, football field, and a baseball field at Spring Creek Park; a view of the creek from Piney Creek Trail; and the disc golf course at Tall Grass Park.
