LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Eric Lucas, Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture What a summer! I hope each of you were able to get out and enjoy the fabulous weather and visit our park system, as well as get in a family vacation or two. Did you have the opportunity to visit our newest parks in the Windshire and Village East neighborhoods? If you did, let us know what you think, and, if not, please be sure to check them out; I am certain they will not disappoint! As we transition into fall, be sure to check out everything we have to offer, from events, like Harvest Festival and Oktoberfest, to the many programs, activities, and cultural offerings

that can be found in our Activity Guide. The fall will also see continued work on the new Parks Maintenance and Museum Collections Facility, as well as the Creamery building located on Ash Street. When opened later this year, this renovated facility will serve as a multigenerational program space for classes and programs related to the arts and sciences. Be sure to check it out!

As always, please feel free to reach out and let us know how we are doing and in what areas we could improve!

‘Print Renaissance: Mid-century Masters of American Printmaking’ December 26 – March 15, 2020

ABOVE “Girl with Beets” by Nancee Sebenaler will appear in the exhibit “Historic Windsor: The Past in Color.” Artists for the exhibit include Alene Starkey, Nancee Sebenaler, Helga Peiler, Darlene Stephenson, Cheryl Gratias, Cecelia Jacobson, Roxanne Ellis, Joan Schweizer, Joyce Devine-Stumpf, and Sherri Scofield.

The founding of new print studios in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s led to a resurgence of printmaking. As artists began working alongside skilled printmakers, lithographs and silkscreens grew increasingly popular as more affordable options for collecting original works.

Artists, including Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Frank Stella, and Robert Rauschenberg, integrated printmaking into their artistic practices. This exhibition features these artists and more in a celebration of 20th-century masters of American printmaking. Visitors will learn about printmaking techniques and this important chapter in American art history.

‘Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature’ (Denver) The Denver Art Museum will be home to the most comprehensive U.S. exhibition of Monet paintings in more than two decades. The exhibition will feature more than 125 paintings spanning Monet’s entire career and will focus on the celebrated French impressionist artist’s enduring relationship with nature and his response to the varied and distinct places in which he worked. The presentation of “Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature” will explore Monet’s continuous interest in capturing the quickly changing atmospheres, the reflective qualities of water and the effects of light, aspects that increasingly led him to work on multiple canvases at once. Additionally, the exhibition will examine the critical shift in Monet’s painting when he began to focus on series of the same subject, including artworks from his series of “Haystacks,” “Poplars,” “Waterloo Bridge,” and “Water Lilies.”

Botanic Garden’s Christmas Lights Tour and Dinner (Denver)

‘Grinch’ at the Buell Theatre (Denver) Dr. Seuss’ “How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical” features the hit songs “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written

by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated series. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos. Magnificent sets (John Lee Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired

by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations, help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, while the music and book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. The 2019 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard, based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by three-time Tony Award® -winning director, Jack O’Brien.

Introduction to Map Reading and Land Navigation You and your friends decide to go on a day hike on a marked trail. You climb over a large boulder to take a picture of a stunning view. When you go to retrace your steps to find the trail again, it’s not where you thought it was ... now what? In this class we will discuss ways of navigating the land to make sure that you know where you are at all times. You will learn the basics of how to use compasses, maps, and the landmarks around you to get a good grasp on finding, and keeping, your location.

Both Prep and All Star Elite Teams are formed at tryouts and are based on skill and age.

Year-round All Star Elite Teams Tryouts for this team will be held in April or May 2020. If you have a qualified athlete, we are happy to do an evaluation to see if they can join the team mid-season.

Wildfires strives to be one of the most affordable competitive cheer programs in Colorado.

Do you have a foam roller or have you seen them here at the Recreation Center? Sure, you roll your quadriceps and IT bands, but the options with a roller are so much more than that. Would you like to learn how to use one to help ease your aches and pains? A foam roller can sometimes get into places you just can’t stretch on your own. Yoga and fitness teacher Julia Lynne will show you the ins, the outs, and the ouches to the benefits of the roller in this hands-on workshop.

Born in the Navy SEALs, Suspension Training body-weight exercise develops strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. It requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to complete hundreds of exercises. This class will also include the TRX Rip Trainer®, laser-focused on improving core strength and rotational power while boosting endurance with a cardio element.

Myofascial Release Workshop When paired with a yoga practice, myofascial release is very effective in releasing muscular tension and soreness, increasing range of motion, and working with scar tissue. This two-hour workshop begins with an overview of the function and role of fascia. You will learn the goals of myofascial release and what to avoid. Then, using a few props — tennis balls, yoga blocks, and blankets — we will dive into specific instruction for the whole body: feet, legs, hips, neck, and shoulders.

Did You Know? As part of our 2019 department strategic plan, we rebranded with the tagline Recreation Lives Here. The tagline was selected because it represents what Windsor residents like to do when they are not working! Whether that is a walk in one of our 25 parks or 40+miles of trails, participation in a program or special event, a workout at the Community Recreation Center or the many fitness clubs in town, or head up into the Rocky Mountains for some recreation; we believe recreation is at the core of the lifestyle of Windsor. In early 2020, our website will transition to RecreationLivesHere.com, with a whole new look and information about what our department has to offer right at your fingertips. Be sure to check it out!

Sports SuperTots Camps:

SuperTots Sports Camps

SoccerTots is our flagship program! Playable on almost any surface, these soccer-themed motor skill classes are very easy for youngsters to get into. Younger age groups focus on developing motor skills and self-confidence; older classes focus more on developing core soccer skills and personal focus, and introduce an element of light competition. The instructor-to-student ratio is kept small to maximize individual development, and above all else they promote fun, fun, fun!

Since 2002, SuperTots has engaged kids, ages 2 to 5, in physical activity in a non-competitive environment that is safe and fun above all else. SuperTots knows kids are hardwired to learn through play. For that reason, they’ve designed an engaging, skill-building curriculum in which “tots” learn through a series of fun games. They will acquire athletic skills and fitness, while also developing an interest and love of sports.

1stDownTots (Football) is a development program for kids that uses a variety of fun games to engage kids while teaching the sport of football and developing fundamental skills. The goal is to build fitness, muscle coordination, and football fundamentals, as well as to create a love of the game. They do not do any tackling or blocking at this level.

Programs run 50 minutes and meet once a week for six weeks at a time. All programs are $89 and include a T-shirt and an award.
