A Destination for Recreation At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The Patowmack Canal offers a glimpse into the early history of this country. Great Falls Park has many opportunities to explore history and nature, all in a beautiful 800acre park only 15 miles from the Nation's Capital.

After an early spring, waking to an inch of snow was a bit of a surprise, but fifty four delegates attending the bi-annual Leadership Training Institute didn’t seem to mind. The beautiful scenery just enhanced LTI’s reputation as the premier development program for Virginia parks and recreation professionals. Two and a half days of team building, good natured competition and dynamic, interactive presentations culminated in a group of peers with valuable new skills and relationships.

In Virginia, legislative action included adoption of new regulations regarding reporting requirements for suspected child abuse. Among other bills enacted, VA HB 1237, Chap. 728 adds individuals employed by a public or private organization responsible for the

Board member Pam Sheets shared some news from the Western Service Area.

Recently, Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation applied for a grant through NRPA’s “Discover Archery” program. A $5,000 grant was awarded to SCPR and funds will be used to send one staffer to the Easton Sports Development Foundation Center for Archery Excellence in Yankton, SD for training; Yankton is also the home of the National Field Archery Association. For more than 10 years, SCPR ran a summer camp program with poor quality equipment but great interest. Now with the grant, besides staff training, the department will replace all of their equipment with top-of-the-line archery equipment and increase their marketing and promotional efforts for this program. SCPR’s goal is to overhaul the summer camp program, introduce year-round programming for all ages by partnering with a

The Western Service Area kicked off 2012 with a great turnout for the February 16th meeting.

Tim, and Larry, a wheelchair basketball player from Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center, talked about the league they have for players with disabilities. Tim and Larry brought specially-equipped wheelchairs for the WSA members so that they could attempt to play the game from a seated position. The photos 9

Discover the Beauty of Ireland Dublin is one of Europe’s oldest cities. As well as retaining its historical and cultural charms, Dublin offers trendy bars, elegant restaurants and stylish, cosmopolitan shops and hotels. There’s never been a better time to visit Dublin, a city that is rivaling Europe’s elite for hip appeal.

Through a wonderful partnership between VRPS, several parks and recreation departments throughout the state and PML Travel & Tours, VRPS is offering a fantastic adventure to Ireland.

The trip was created as a Society fundraiser for long-term and strategic planning. VRPS issued a bid and awarded the trip to PML Travel & Tours; the company is based in New Jersey and has worked with several Virginia agencies.

Open to the general public, we are encouraging departments to help VRPS sell this trip; this is a great opportunity to expand your travel programming with little work on your end. Or maybe you want to go on vacation and travel with VRPS! Either way, VRPS is providing everything you need to sell the trip, including a FAQ sheet, registration form, an informational flyer with many trip details included, a non-insurance form, and electronic form of the insurance brochure, and phone numbers for “help” if you need it.

Following are some additional facts. Feel free to contact the phone numbers listed for more help if you need it.

Greetings All, I hope you’ve found some time outdoors this spring to explore and refresh your body and spirit. It’s one of my favorite things to do. Our state and national parks provide wonderful opportunities to test your sense of adventure, thrill your senses and give you somewhere to think of when told to “go to your happy place!” This spring I’ve been to the Highland Maple Festival and Douthat State Park, hiked up Old Rag Mountain, visited Independence National Historical Park, hiked in Great Falls National Park on both the Virginia and Maryland sides, and most recently, in Wintergreen Resort.

Douthat State Park - Tuscarora Overlook

Old Rag Mountain Trail - Shenandoah National Park

Douthat Lake from the Blue Suck Falls Trail I have more outings planned for the summer. I hope you have some on your schedule, too.

Recreation professionals should be the ones to set the example and make sure no one is left inside. :) Cindy S Roeder, President
