Learn all about SCUBA diving and experience the thrill of swimming underwater with all the required SCUBA equipment. Participants will use actual equipment (all equipment provided) in the shallow pool. Under the guidance of a PADI scuba instructor get all your questions answered while experiencing the thrill of underwater. This is a great opportunity to expose yourself to Scuba Diving before committing to the certification training process. Ages 10+, ages 10-15 must be accompanied by an adult. Please specify student's height, weight and shoe size to ensure appropriate sized equipment. Bring a swimsuit and towel to class.

By teaching tricks, you will establish a closer, more communicative bond with your canine friend. Additionally, you can capitalize and improve behaviors your dog already knows, provide mental and physical stimulation by teaching your dog to experiment, pay attention to you and offer behaviors to learn self control. Open to dogs of all ages with or without prior training. A list of at least 15 trick behaviors are offered for you to choose from and your canine friend will learn at least 5 if not all 15.

Make the stars your old friends as we watch the great celestial show in the skies over Western Wisconsin. We’ll have giant telescopes aimed at Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Mars will be the closest it’ll be to Earth until 2035! We’ll also view star clusters, galaxies, and more. Get to know constellations like The Big Bear, Cygnus the Swan, Pegasus the Winged Horse, and some of their great stories behind them. Mike Lynch is a retired WCCO meteorologist and has been hosting star watch parties and teaching astronomy classes since 1972. He also writes a weekly stargazing column for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and is the author of the book “Stars, a Month by Month Tour of the Constellations.” It’ll be available for purchase at a discount. Super cool glow in the dark star shirts will also be available for sale. You’re invited to bring lawn chairs to make yourself comfy. Even if it’s cloudy you’ll learn a lot, have a great time! This class has been adapted to allow for smaller class size. Children under 16 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
