boards; or a room at the recreation center or
a shelter facility at Raab Park, Muriel Iverson
Williams Waterfront Park or Nelson Park, call
the Parks and Recreation Office at 360-7799898. A reservation fee is charged for sign and
facility rentals.
This is a fee-reduction/scholarship program,
which you, the community, can support with
donations.
Any time you register for a program and
want to give a little back to your community in
need, just “round up” your payment amount
and we’ll put it into the fund. A space has
been provided for you on the registration form
on page 3.
For instance, if a gymnastics class costs
$35, you could round up the payment to $40.
$5 would then go into the Round Up for
Recreation fund. Thank you for helping.

Preschool Summer Camps
4 classes
“Yoga, Reading, and Nutrition, Oh My!” Preschool Integrated Yoga Camp Shannon Russell. Children ages 4 to
6 (3-year-olds welcome with an attending
adult) will enjoy this mini-camp as we integrate
movement with songs, rhymes, games, and
relaxation activities, with a nutritious “mindful
snack,” and early reading activities. Yoga Calm
® (yogacalm.org) is designed specifically for
children, to improve not only physical skills in
flexibility, strength, body awareness, and balance, but social emotional skills: teamwork,
leadership (they help me teach), calmness,
self-confidence, and improved focus and attention. Each day we will also learn about food
choices, and enjoy reading together. What a
combo! Your child will gain precious skills for
home and school life. Class size is limited,
so register today. Please bring a yoga mat;
there are a few available if you do not own
one.

out the origins of things like the hand mixer,
windshield wipers and conveyor belts. During
this Bricks 4 Kidz® unit, students will discuss
the difference between an invention and a discovery, learn how inventions solve problems,
and find out how inventors get their ideas patented. Each week, students are encouraged
to think of what they could invent, or improvements they could make to an existing object
to solve a problem. Introduce your student to
the world of ideas, creativity, inventions and
patents. Each week, we will construct different
familiar objects using LEGO® bricks such as a
hand mixer, windshield wipers and a conveyor
belt. Each model is motorized for maximum
movement and fascination! Start creating! Poulsbo Elem

Coaches, Coaches, Coaches!
It’s never been more important! Families, community, and individuals joining together for our young people.
In order to be successful, youth sports
programs need caring, compassionate adults
who are willing to devote some of their limited
time to the kids. You don’t have to be an expert
on the sport of choice! We have lots of helpful
resources, including people that are willing to
help you help our kids enjoy themselves.
This is quality time for our young people.
They are practicing physical and mental skills,
interacting with their peers and adults in a
healthy atmosphere, and learning the ability to
compete towards a goal as a team and as an
individual. Call Joe at Parks and Rec, 360731-1938, for more information on this valuable opportunity.
Recycle previously purchased Purple and
Gold Jerseys! If you have a purple and gold
jersey used in the Parks and Rec basketball
program that is still in good condition (no tears,
numbers clearly visible, and clean), you can
turn them in for a $5.00 credit. Also, if you
wish to purchase a used jersey, the cost is
$5.00!

North Kitsap Summer Sailing Camps Sailing lessons will be offered again this
summer for ages 8-18. Camps will be held
at the Port of Kingston next to the boat ramp.
There will be all-day camps for students 11
and older using a variety of boats, and halfday camps in the Opti boats for 8- to 12-yearold sailors.
Students must have beginner swimming skills and provide their own Coast
Guard-approved life jackets. The all-day
classes will be conducted in Byte class sailboats, a 12-foot, self-righting dinghy that was
developed especially for junior training. The
Opti is used for our younger sailors, and is a
more stable design for our younger sailors, although it performs very well in a breeze. Opti
class sailboats have been used around the
world for many years as a junior trainer.
The purpose of our sailing camps is to
learn sailing skills, boating safety, and to have
fun! Please remember, however, that sailing
can at times be dangerous and students must
be willing to work hard each day. Capsizing
for the “fun” of it will not be tolerated. A Coast
Guard-approved life jacket must be worn at
all times when on the dock and in the water.
Students will need to bring a sack lunch, a
beverage with extra water for hot days, swimsuit, change of clothes, soft-soled footwear
(something you do not mind getting wet), sunscreen, sunglasses and/or a hat, and clothing
appropriate for the weather. Wetsuits will be
used on inclimate weather days only; bring
your own if you have one. Opti sailors will not
need wet suits. On cool days, you may need
extra clothing. For further information, call

Creating Imaginary Creatures in Watercolor
Dana Marrs. Creating original and quirky
creatures is a silly endeavor but the process is
a serious study of watercolor technique! We
will use washes, glazing with 2 or 3 layers,
wet blending and textures. We will use found
shapes from the most unlikely sources. We
will learn to draw and paint eyes, snouts, ears,
paws and tails. To all that, we will add a few
fearless mixed-media touches like white ink,
paper collage and iron-on transfers. With luck,
we will have a handful of creatures suitable
for framing. Previous watercolor experience
recommended. Materials list is available. If
you wonder if the materials you already own
are suitable, you are encouraged to call the

Watson’s originally began as a U-pick
vegetable operation in 1974, which was strictly
a family affair. A 14 x 14 ft. greenhouse structure was built, and a few houseplants were
grown. When it became too crowded, another
was built...and then another. Things expanded
from there, until a major remodel built a 32,500
sq. ft. beautiful glass and steel greenhouse
from Belgium. The new structure and space
has allowed Watson’s to offer an extended gift
line, garden art and additional gardening products and plants. Watson’s grows the majority
of the annual plants, planters and hanging
baskets they sell. After visiting Watsons, we’ll
stop by the Tacoma Waterfront for lunch at
Katy Downs Tavern and Eatery; and then enjoy the 5 mile drive through Pt. Defiance Park.

visit to Laconner in recent months! So, today
we’ll head north to this lovely seaside village

We’ll head north today into the San Juan
Islands, for a visit to Orcas Island. It’s a magical mix of arts and culture, lush forests, placid
lakes and endless outdoor possibilities. The

boutiques, art galleries and museums. Miles
of shoreline ribbon the island with numerous
beaches, both public and private. Surrounding land masses offer the San Juans protection from harsh weather, so the islands enjoy
a year round climate that is more moderate
than other locations in the Pacific Northwest.
We’ll stop at Rosario Resort to see the Moran
Museum, lunch and browse in Eastsound, and
drive around the island to catch some sights.
