role the ingredients play. In this camp, we will breakdown some recipes, tweak, and
explore what makes them work! Participants must come with some kitchen skills
(measuring and knife skills in particular that will be a part of the From Garden to
Kitchen Cooking Class earlier this summer) because we’re going to take it to the next
level. We will make some ferments, have some baking trials, create our own salad
dressing recipes, experiment with moisture, textures, and emulsions, and experience
the 5 tastes (sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami). Participants ought to have a
curious palate as we are going to taste our way through the camp. Participants will
come away with a better understanding of some of the whats and whys in the kitchen
while having fun experimenting scientist-style. A $25 supply fee to be paid to the

Get Cookin’
Get Cookin’ is a week-long hands-on interactive cooking camp for kids developed by
the Center for Healthy Communities. This camp features daily cooking, fun physical
activities including water play and an exciting “Chopped Challenge.” During the
camp, the kids become the chefs and learn various cooking techniques, knife safety

kids will be cooking recipes such as hearty egg burritos, tabouli, pumpkin pudding,
and stove-top mac n’ cheese. The culmination of the summer camp is the Kids
Chopped Challenge. The challenge is to use a mystery basket of ingredients and turn
it into a dish that is judged on its creativity, presentation and taste. A panel of 3-4
judges will watch the competition, taste the food and will award a winning team.

Level Two: Fundamental Aquatic Skills (Guppy)
This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills. Students learn to float without
support and recover to a vertical position. Students further develop simultaneous and
alternating arm and leg actions on front and back that lay the foundation of further
strokes. For this level of instruction, students should already be able to enter the water
independently and travel at least 5 yards. In addition, students should be able to glide
on their front at least two body lengths without instructor assistance. (Suggested ages:
6-9 years)
Level Four: Stroke Improvement (Swordfish)
In level four, students improve their skills and increase their endurance by swimming
familiar strokes for greater distances. Students will be introduced to sidestroke,
backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly and the basics of turning at the wall. Students
should already be able to jump confidently into deep water from the side of the pool,
swim freestyle 15 yards, maintain position by treading or floating for 30 seconds, and
swim elementary backstroke for 15 yards. (Suggested ages: 9-14 years)

Thrive- A Hybrid
Homeschool Program
Fall 2016 through Spring 2017
Thrive is a hybrid homeschool program that provides structured, adult-led classes
as well as open structured, guided exploration sessions in a warm, inviting space.
Students spend their days learning and creating while spending time with other
children and adults who will inspire and guide them. A wonderful opportunity for
social experiences, creative expression and adult and student led learning
Our mission at Thrive is to inspire a life-long love of learning by respecting each
person’s individual interests, strengths, and capabilities. It is a place where children
are free to learn, inspire, imagine, create, play, and shine!
Classes are led by adults from our community who have an interest or skill that they
are excited to share and teach. All classes are hands on and project based and meet
a minimum of three state standards. All of our instructors have a clear background/
fingerprint clearance and have been hand selected to provide your student a quality,
caring class experience. New classes every 7 weeks means there is something for everyone.
Open structured hours offer students the opportunity to explore their varied
interests with the support of caring mentors. Learning invitations are presented
in an environment that fosters imagination, self- motivation, and meaningful
experiences. Books, websites, magazines, nature, music, math concepts, science
projects, art projects, building materials, creative play, and idea sharing will spark
the imagination. Advisors work with the children to create an emergent and free
flowing curriculum that derives from the imaginations of the children enrolled.
State standards are met by reflecting back on work and projects students choose to
participate in.
• Thrive programs are held at the PV Recreation Center, 2320 North Ave.
• Family Information Night on August 18th
• Classes and Guided Exploration Sessions start September 1st

Something to observe in this program is how your child plays adjacent to other
children in the playgroup. This cooperative social interaction is called parallel
play and helps children begin language development, build confidence, and
form relationships. Your child will increasingly learn to share and become aware
of other’s emotions, as well as learn cause and effect through trial and error of
adjusting and solving problems in play.
This class is formatted as a parent/child class with the goal of giving parents
an opportunity to bond, meet other parents that have children the same age as
theirs, and provide parent support. Not only are our classes a wonderful bonding
opportunity for you and your child, they are an excellent way to meet new friends,
introduce your child to other children, and find others that will support you
through the exciting adventure of parenthood.

Coach Of The Quarter:
Jon Simmons & William Cotton
(include pictures- EG has them- 2 pictures)
Our Coaches of the Quarter, Coach Jon Simmons and William Cotton have the spirit
of “love of the game” within him! Not only is he a fantastic flag football coach, but
he is an amazing person. Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton always go above and
beyond to make sure that their players are better athletes, but more importantly,
better people by the end of the season. Coach Simmons says, “To me ‘for the love of
the game’ is a nice reminder that all sports are games in the purest form. No matter
the level of competition, the slogan serves as a reminder to maintain our focus on
enjoyment (love) of the game and not just winning. A focus on a love of the game
helps keep interest up and allows everyone to enjoy it.”
Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton are masters at using flag football as the vehicle
to emphasize character development skills throughout the season. They say, “To
help instill a ‘love of the game’ in our players, we focus on making the game
enjoyable and structure everything around our third grade audience. We work to
hit a good balance between learning and simply having fun while partnering with
the parents and others to support our goals. Keeping everyone on the same page and
working toward the same goal with a focus on a ‘love of the game’ is imperative.”
This is Coach Simmons and Coach Cotton’s first year volunteering with CARD.
We are so lucky to have them as a part of our program, and cannot express our
appreciation of him enough. Congratulations to our Coaches of the Quarter, Jon
Simmons and William Cotton.

Teams may be moved from their league of choice, at the discretion of the Recreation
Supervisor, if it is deemed beneficial to the CARD softball program as a whole. Prior
team history and records will be considered upon league creation. Spring league
champions MAY be moved up to a higher league for the subsequent season if deemed
appropriate. Teams who struggle in a given league may also be moved down. Our goal
is to facilitate proper league placement over the course of time. While you may not
consider yourself a “B” or “C” level team, you may be one of the top teams playing on
that evening, making it necessary that you play in a higher (or lower) league.

CARD Facts
The Chico Area Recreation and Park District is a California Special District. CARD is
neither a County nor City department. While we work alongside the City in several
aspects, we are not governed by the City of Chico. We are a separate government
entity (a special district) operating under Section 5780 of the California Public
Resources Code formed by public vote in 1948.
Did you know that CARD operates and maintains 11 parks totaling 190 acres, 4
community centers, and two aquatic facilities?
CARD is governed by an elected five member Board of Directors, each serving a four
year term. CARD has a salaried General Manager who manages the operation of all
District staff, programs, and facilities. There are 32 full-time and over 300 part time
employees whose duties are directed toward the operation of recreation programs
and the maintenance of parks and facilities.

Guide or online at www.chicorec.com
