Space Camp
October 15 and 16, 1996 ( 9:00am - 2:00pm each day)
Two days of space activities at the rec center in both the
gym and a community room. The activities included
drawing, making star charts, marshmallow space stations,
and spending time in the stadab planetarium viewing stars as
they would be seen in the night sky. They were also able to
eat astronaut food. The age group for the program was 1 st
through 5th grade.
This was a very successful program, after it had failed in its
first attempt. We had a complete roster of 30 children
almost 1 month before the program. We had a waiting list
of 15 children.
I recommend that we run the program again in the spring
and continue to offer it every other season or offer two
sessions during the fall season.

Kids love cooking, so this class has been designed especially for
them. They'll prepare many fun recipes, discuss kitchen safety, and
of course, sample all the creations!
Kids loved it. Designed for elementary kids from Bluff Creek. All age
groups work well together.

The program consisted of six weeks of games and
fundamentals at the Chanhassen Recreation Center
Rinks. The program was led by a Rec. Center Staff
member. Roller Hockey was open to children ages
9-12. Cost was $25 per child.
The program went extremely well. Enrollment was 13 out of
a maximum of 42. Ratio of leaders to children was 1:13, which
was appropriate. Suggest adding one more leader if the
enrollment is 15 or more. The program was set up to be a
non competitive league, but with only 13 participants we
just split the children up randomly each session and played
games. The feedback from the children and parents was
positive.
Overall, Roller Hockey was successful and gave the children
a fun experience in a rather new sport.
Take a break in winter and spring 1997, and offer again in
summer and fall 1997. Also offer same program for kids
ages 13-15.

A non-structured program for kids ages 5-12. This program was an
opportunity for kids to play games, do homework, or hang out with
their friends. It was supervised by Abbey VanReisen. The program
was held at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. Fee was $16/child.
This program did not mn, mostly because this was a new program
started by a Facility Supervisor who resigned before the program
got going. Therefore, there was no conformity. There were three
children who registered and many parents who called to inquire
about the program after it had been canceled.
I would offer this program with more structure. This program will
be offered again in January and February of 1997. The program
will again be six weeks. Every week will have a theme, such as
balloon sculpting, board games, ice cream making, etc. Kids will
have the opportunity to either relax and/or do homework, or do the
scheduled activity.
