The Parks & Rec Clubhouse provides a space to meet and make new friends through specialized activities for various ages. Participate in different & unique activities while our staff helps guide you through your adventures. And the best part is that we clean up the mess!Our activities range from seasonal activities, science/learning activities, sensory learning and other messy crafts & activities!These programs will be held at 561 Main Street South in Southbury, CT in the Parks & Recreation Building- Multipurpose Room.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Educational Hands on Experience Series! Ball Python & Snakes Lab (Ages 5 & up) This lab offers a fun way of learning about certain snakes as pets and in the wild, including all the different snakes in Connecticut. Each lab offers something different and each class ends with hands-on experience with pet ball pythons. Snakes 101: Identifying different snakes (venomous vs. non-venomous), a brief introduction to most snake's anatomy, and how to read the body language of a snake (when they may bite you). Each Snake 101 class offers a different craft or activity at the end of each class!Husbandry 101: Learning how to take care of pet snakes, including their temperatures, supplies needed for their enclosure, feeding and more! The snakes that will be discussed are sand boas, ball pythons, corn snakes, hognose snakes, Burmese pythons and garter snakes). Most of these snakes are found in pet stores and considered beginner snakes, while some snakes are for more experienced owners. Ball Python 101: A class all about ball pythons, from handling, feeding, patterns, and more! This class will end with a live demonstration of snake feeding (with frozen/thawed food, not live). We will do this towards the last 10 minutes of class and warn those who do not wish to see it. We cannot promise that the ball pythons will take the food. (December's class will not offer feedings).Ball Python 102: In this class, we take up to 4 families (1 child and 1 parent/guardian), so each family is paired with 1 of our ball pythons. Each family will hold each ball python and interact with them before pairing up. One of these classes (labeled Ball Python 102 + FEEDING) will allow the participant to feed their snake at the end of the class (with an instructor's assistance)! If you do not want to feed your snake, you can have more handling/bonding time with the snake. We encourage all ages to attend: children, teens, adults, and seniors! __________________________________________________________________________Pumpkin Lab (Ages 2 & up)All participants will carve their own Jack-O-Lantern!

We are excited to be a part of your child’s growth and success!First Step: 2 year oldsOur First Step program is specifically designed for 2-year-olds to be introduced to soccer. This is a parent-and-me program, so each child is expected to have an adult helper with them each week. The specific goals of this program include helping children learn to interact within larger groups, increasing their attention spans with the help of their parents through our interactive storytelling methodology, learning to kick and control a ball with their feet, and the introduction to a specific soccer skill. Each week we take the kids on a great imaginary adventure that stimulates their imaginations and teaches them about the world around them. We use songs and fun games to enhance their enjoyment. We end eachsession with a skills-for-stickers segment during which the childrenearn stickers for sharing what they have learned and for scoring goals.Step Up: 3'and 4'sIn our Step Up program, we help children who are 3 and 4 years old to become independent and grow in their own confidence. We encourage children to leave their parent’s side and to join the group as we go on fantastic, interactive adventures that spark their imaginations as they develop their abilities to control a ball with their feet. We seamlessly integrate basic soccer skills into each session, and we also weave our special skill of the season into every class. After the adventure, the players all get to show off their mastery of the season’s skill in our skills-for-stickers segment of each class. Week after week, we build the skill up so that the players learn at their own pace but are also challenged with new movements every week making this a fantastic gross motor skill development exercise. Each week ends with a game where wecheer the player on as they learn to control the ball and score goals in a non-competitive, but chaotic environment. Each session is one hour long.Next Step: 5'sIn our Next Step program, we prepare 5-year-olds for the transition to traditional soccer practices and games. We begin each week with the same adventure-based, storytelling methodology that is the hallmark of our program, but we reserve the more difficult or complicated skills for this age group. During our skill-for-stickers portion of our program, we place more emphasis on the players performing the skill correctly, although we always reward effort over success. During our mini games, we focus on players trying to attack the opponent’s goal and to defend their own. The weekly sessions are one hour long.Registration includes shorts, shirts, and socks.Program will take place at Southbury Parks and Recreation561 Main St SouthSouthbury CT 06488
