a Community Education class
recently, proceed to the next level.

one site may differ from Level 2
at another. If you have questions,

Dear Parents:
We would like to invite your child to join us for our

wide variety of positive, asset-building, educational
enrichment and recreational opportunities for
children kindergarten through 8th grade. The
program is open to all interested children; you are
always welcome at the Southwest Community

activities in the morning (9:30 am-12:00 pm), in
the afternoon (1:00-3:30 pm), or both. You can also
send your child with a lunch and we will provide
supervision during the lunch hour.
Additionally, we offer the option of a pre-program
drop off (PSSP) at 8:15 am—see page 123 for

Each class/activity runs for four consecutive

can pick and choose classes at your convenience
throughout the summer without disrupting
family vacation plans or holidays. Best of all, the
price is right! The average cost of attending a
half-day program for one week is $60, and a fullday program is $120 (there may be additional

Trek Descriptions
The Canoe Trip
You’ll be canoeing on Lake of the Isles and
Cedar Lake. To participate in this trip, you must
demonstrate basic swimming skills and be able
to handle yourself in deep water. We will have our
Water Safety Instructors confirm your water skills
on the first day of class—bring your swimsuit!
After the water test, you’ll also review canoeing
skills at Lake Calhoun. In addition, you’ll conduct
a formal water test and learn about water
treatment, the methods and effectiveness of
water purification and sources of water pollution.
The fee covers the cost for the canoe, paddles
and required life jackets.
The TREK program emphasizes environmental
awareness through three recreation activities:
canoeing, hiking and biking. You’ll gain a
better understanding of the environmental
issues that affect personal, societal and
global health and will learn about efforts to
reduce, reuse and recycle. Please note you
must be 12, 13, or 14 years old to enroll in the
TREK program. Bring a bag lunch, water, and
snacks each day! The four-day Trek Program
runs Monday through Thursday except the
week of July 4 when the Trek Program runs
Tuesday through Friday. All three activities
occur each week.
For Youth ages 12-14
Time: 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
(the day of the canoe trip may run later)
Weeks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
(Week 4 runs Tuesday-Friday.)
Cost: $125 per week
The Hiking Trip
You’ll learn the basics of rock-climbing, hiking
and backpacking. You’ll hike and explore the
Minnehaha Falls area and study the geological
characteristics of the area; examining the impact
and consequences of human activity. You’ll also
learn how we process garbage, what is actually
done with our recyclables and the sources and
consequences of ground pollutants
The Bike Trip
You’ll learn how to prepare yourself and your
bike for an extended trip by dealing with minor
bike maintenance and instruction by repairing
common bicycle problems. You’ll be taking an allday trip on the Hopkins-Cedar or Luce Line Trails
which is a 15-20 mile ride. The environmental
component of this trip will deal with air quality, air
purification and cleaning devices, air pollutants
and allergens. You’ll learn how air quality is tested,
what devices “clean” the air and how effective
these devices are in removing allergens and
pollutants from residential and/or commercial
applications/environments. Please check over
your bike to make sure the tires are inflated
fully and that the brakes function properly. A
bicycle helmet, water bottles and a good lock
are required.
