DIRECTOR’S LETTER
The following hotline numbers offer recorded information 24 hours
a day.
Summertime! Just the word
brings up so many memories of
visiting the parks, swinging on
the playgrounds and splashing in
the pools. It is a time for families
to connect with each other and
nature.
DEPARTMENT HOTLINE.........................296-2500
INCLEMENT WEATHER HOTLINE..........296-3282
Summer also brings another season at Adventure Reef Water
Park. We are excited about some significant changes coming
to Adventure Reef this summer. One of the most exciting
is the benefits for pass holders. In addition to entering the
water park early through our new “swipe and go” line, pass
holders will also be invited to attend a special preview party
on Friday, May 24. We have also made improvements to our
locker rooms and added a new guest relations representative,
who will be available to answer your questions regarding the
water park and provide an extra level of service.
Go 4th! continues to be a highlight of every summer. Live
music, games for all children and fireworks round out this
annual event. The fun begins on July 4 at 6 p.m. in Delco Park.
Summer’s Best Music can be found at Fraze Pavilion
this summer. From festivals and events like the Kettering
Block Party and Swamp Romp, to amazing concerts by
Hank Williams, Jr. and Gregg Allman, you are sure to find
something for everyone at Fraze this summer.
As always, you can find current information about our
programs, events and facilities by visiting www.ketteringoh.org.
We have completely redesigned our website to make it easier for
you to use. The new site will be launched soon and we would

VISION STATEMENT
We strive to enhance the quality of life for all residents and to
distinguish Kettering as the community of choice.
KETTERING PARKS FOUNDATION
The City of Kettering is committed to providing
recreational opportunities to all Kettering area residents
without regard to economic circumstances. For
this reason, a financial assistance program
is available for qualifying families or
individuals through funds provided from
the Kettering Parks Foundation. Currently
the Foundation is raising money through the
Reach for the Sky campaign. We hope to be able
to provide scholarships in 2013. More information
on the Parks Foundation can be found on the website at:
www.ketteringparksfoundation.org.
IS MY CLASS CANCELED DUE TO POOR
WEATHER?
When Kettering City Schools are closed due to inclement weather,
all registered programs that occur before 5 p.m. are canceled. A
decision will be made by 3 p.m. whether evening classes will
be canceled. Please call our hotline at 296-3282 for up-to-date
weather cancellations.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
A great gift idea for any occasion! Purchase gift certificates at any
recreation facility for most of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Arts programs.

ACCESS TO ALL
The Kettering resident or person working in Kettering makes
a significant contribution to the financing and operation
of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. The
City property tax and income tax are paid whether or not the
individual participates or uses the facilities of the department.
The fair share concept is intended to apportion to non-residents
an equalized fee, so that they contribute to the overall financing
of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department on an
equitable basis with the resident. It is hoped that this policy will
give not only equitable treatment, but also a better understanding
of fees and overall financing to both residents and non-residents.
For more information on verifying resident status, see page 89.

sportsmanship, team work and the joy of sports. This program
is ideal for children who have never played organized football,
as well as those who have played youth football. In addition
to learning fundamentals, techniques and strategies of the
sport, campers will participate in flag football games every
day, as well as fun games and contests such as, “Punt, Pass &
Kick” and “NFL Fast Football.” The week will culminate in a
fun superbowl, which parents are invited to attend.

Skyhawks programs are the centerpiece in delivering quality sports programs that not only equip the athlete with physical
skills, but also teach life skills through athletics! Skyhawks programs develop skills, refine talents, and prepare young
athletes for future endeavors and competition. Skyhawks staff members are always experienced in the sport they support
and have been trained to share that knowledge with a young audience. Skyhawks level programs teach the fundamentals in
an appropriately competitive environment where winning and losing are not everything, but are a simple part of the game
on the field and in life. These programs are designed for beginner to intermediate level players. Each camp includes quality
instruction, T-shirt and merit award. All participants who sign up for Skyhawks programs must visit www.skyhawks.com
to order their free shirt and ensure appropriate size.
Skyhawks participants should bring a snack, a water bottle, shoes (running shoes are fine), and sunscreen to each camp.
Please put your child’s name and phone number on all personal belongings. For more information about the Skyhawks
programs, visit their website at www.skyhawks.com.

precaution, Skyhawks Sports will be utilizing golf helmets for
protection. The participant-to-coach ratio is approximately

HEALTHY YOUTH
for
PARTNERS FOR HEALTHY YOUTH
partners
Partners for Healthy Youth is a community-wide effort to
engage Kettering adults and youth in working together to
build a healthy community where all young people can
grow and succeed.
Our focus is on building character/developmental assets,
while promoting a network of resources and initiatives
to address the needs and issues facing Kettering’s youth
and families. Our work is based on research by the Search
Institute on the 40 Developmental Assets that all young
people need to succeed.
Partners for Healthy Youth is a collaborative effort
founded jointly by the Kettering City Council and the
Kettering School Board. It is led by an advisory board
made up of representatives
from a wide variety of
sectors throughout the
community, including city,
school, church, business,
social service, recreation
and members of the
Kettering Youth Council.
Based on extensive
community-wide input,
Partners for Healthy Youth
has identified three key
initiatives to focus on
during the next two years.
Community Character Building
The mission of this initiative is to establish, implement
and sustain a program to promote character building assets
in Kettering.
Character
“ Wo r d s o f
the Month”
are promoted
in schools,
community
buildings,
churches and
businesses.
Our goal is to
build character qualities and personal assets that will help
our youth make positive choices and develop a strong base
for a promising future.
Addie Weaver
is manager of Partners for
Healthy Youth.

or email

Youth
Leadership
and Service
Following the
2006 Search
Institute survey
of more than 700
Kettering youth,
Partners for
Healthy Youth
learned that less
than 1/3 of our young people are engaged in service to
their communities. The Youth Leadership and Service
initiative seeks to engage all young people in Kettering
through leadership development programs and service
projects. Each year hundreds of youth participate in the
Kettering Youth Council, Kettering Youth Leadership
Academy, Community Day of Service and various
service events.
Mentoring
The mission of the mentoring initiative is to connect
the youth of Kettering and their families to strong
resources, healthy adults and programs that provide our
youth with mentoring and other positive opportunities
which include elements of strong character and
leadership development. Mentoring programs include
the ongoing after-school programs for our middle
schools, continuation of Cops & Kids Camp and positive
interaction and relationship building with local law
enforcement.

LEARN-TO-SWIM CLASSES
Now with a greater emphasis on drowning prevention and
water safety, the American Red Cross Swimming and Water
Safety program continues to lead the way in educating and
encouraging people in our community to think and act safely
in, on and around the water. The Swimming and Water Safety
program helps people of all ages enjoy the water safely and act
effectively in an emergency situation.
Courses are fun, interactive and lead participants to incorporate
swimming and water safety into their lives, whether they
make swimming a part of a lifetime fitness plan, swim or dive
competitively or even train to become Water Safety Instructors.
Participants must receive a certificate of completion or approval
from the Aquatics Instruction Coordinator before moving on
to the next level. Please be aware that sometimes it takes more
than one set of lessons to master the skills required to move
up to the next level. If you are unsure of which level to sign
your child up for, please call 296-2587 and ask for the Aquatic
Instruction Coordinator or send an e-mail to Lindsey.Curry@
ketteringoh.org to schedule a FREE swim test. Our summer
swim lessons fill up fast.
Fun American Red Cross storybooks that reinforce the skills
being taught in class are available for purchase at the front desk
for only $2. Raffy Learns to Swim coincides with Pre-School
Levels 1 and 2 and Learn-to-Swim Level 1. Waddles in the Deep
coincides with Pre-School Aquatics Level 3 and Learn To Swim
Levels 2 and 3. Bring your book to class and your instructor
will sign the certificate!

SHALLOW WATER WORKOUT
This class consists of aerobic routines, stretching and toning

natural buoyancy of the water makes even a beginner feel

you a first-rate workout. No swimming skills necessary. This

Workout pass for admission.

Aqua Zumba
Age(s) 16+
Known as the Zumba "pool party," Aqua Zumba gives new
meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing,
stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting
and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba
class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with
traditional aqua fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends them
all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout
that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all,
exhilarating. Zumba Fitness has taken the winning formula
of Latin and international music beats for dance exercise
and integrated them in a water-based workout. Aqua Zumba
keeps the Zumba Fitness workout party going in the pool,
led by instructors who have a specialty Aqua Zumba License.
Water shoes not required but recommended. *Class will not
meet on July 4.

Although our spectator area is heated, you will want to dress
warmly when you come ice skating. Please remember your hats
and gloves. Long pants or tights are required for participation
in group lessons. It is always better to dress in layers so you
may take off a layer or two if needed.
Selecting the proper skate size is very important. Your skates
should be approximately one-half size smaller than your shoe
size. You want your skates to be snug, but not so tight that you
are uncomfortable. You should be able to wiggle your toes.
Lace your skates tightly, starting at the bottom and lacing to
the top, not skipping any eyelets.
We hope these suggestions will help make your visit a very
pleasant one and you will come back to see us again.

Bodyweight Training
Strength training does not always mean lifting weight plates,
dumbbells or heavy objects off the ground and into the
air. Your body weight can also provide resistance to move
against—and the nice part is that your body is always with
you. There are many movements other than the push-ups
and pulls–ups that you might have done in gym class, such
as lunge variations, core/stability movements, plyometrics
and more. Different angles, various hand positions and the
speed with which you do the movements can provide a wide
variety of exercises and movements to strengthen the entire
body. Maybe it’s time to start adding body weight exercises
into your regimen.

Training for a Competition
Age(s) 16+
Many people are on the verge of entering an athletic
competition of some sort, but hesitate at the last moment.
Training for a competition can be an exhilarating and
fulfilling experience from start to finish. It could be any
type of athletic competition from a Mud Run, to a 5K, to a
marathon, to an Iron Man, to a body building competition.
The excitement is in the journey. Any journey begins with
the first step and attending this session will be that first step
for many of you. You will learn about periodization, training
methodologies for your specific competition, how to get
expert help, how to overcome plateaus and valleys in your
training, and then how to specifically prepare for the day
of the event. Learn how to overcome that nagging fear and
prepare to enter your first race, cycling event or competition
and see where the journey can take you.

a BMX bike and helmet
Junior Fall Basketball
•
RACING EVERY SUNDAY beginning
May 12 and every other Tuesday
beginning May 21 through October.
The program will emphasize basketball fundamentals, skill
development, sportsmanship and plenty of fun. Everyone
will play at least one-half of each game.
•
Registration and practice on Tuesdays
(6 – 7 p.m.) and Sundays (2 – 3

All coaching in this league will be done by volunteers/parents.
Anyone interested in coaching or helping out, please contact
Sport Activities Coordinator at 296-2587. During the season,
the total commitment will be approximately two hours per
week—one hour of practice and one hour for games.
BMX has something to offer
everyone. Races are organized
according to age group and skill level so
everyone gets the opportunity to compete on an appropriate,
fair level.
All riders compete for awards and ABA points. The ABA points
system determines a rider’s annual ranking within his/her
own district. National and local standings are then published
in The BMXer, a magazine that each rider receives monthly.
What is BMX?
The sport of bicycle motocross that began in the early 1970s
in southern California. A handful of riders started riding
their stingray-type bikes off road in vacant lots and fields.
Not much competition, but a lot of fun.
Who can race?
Races are organized into separate boys and girls classes, age
groups from 5-and-under to 51-and-older, and skill levels
(example: novice, intermediate and expert). All riders start
as novices and work up to more advanced levels by winning
races.
YOUTH PROGRAMS
What kind of bike do I need?
BMX racing does not require a lot of expensive equipment.
Most racers start with their 20-inch street bike by removing
the chain guard and kick stand and then putting some
inexpensive padding on the frame, handle bar and stem.
What kind of helmet do I need?
A helmet, long sleeve shirts, long pants and enclosed shoes
are required. The ABA recommends a helmet with face
protection as well.
How much does it cost to race?
A one-year ABA membership is only $45, which allows you
to race on any ABA track nationwide. Each member will also
receive The BMXer. Once you have become an ABA member,
races, clinics and other competitions will require additional
fees based on the event.
BMX Summer Camp

All the world’s a stage, and all the

in one of Shakespeare’s most
beloved and timeless comedies.
William Shakespeare’s As You Like
It is created and performed by Free
Shakespeare!. Free and open to all,
the performance will be in the lawn
of Rosewood Arts Centre.
As You Like It presents a world fraught with turmoil; the
kindly elder duke has been usurped and cast out into the
pastoral forest of Arden, homeless and bereft of lordship.
Meanwhile, the whip-smart Rosalind is forced to extreme
measures to teach tongue-tied Orlando, the object of her
affections, how to woo with charm, manners, and grace.
Within the pastoral woods of Arden, a host of young lovers,
clowns, and the occasional sheep, live in idyllic harmony,
filling their lives with song, dance, and revelry.
Rosewood Arts Centre is proud to host the Free Shakespeare!
summer in the park performance. Free Shakespeare! is a
professional, not-for-profit theatre company devoted to
presenting complimentary performances of the works of
William Shakespeare with a mission to make these classic
works accessible to contemporary audiences of all ages and
backgrounds. As You Like It is directed by Travis J. Cook.
This event is free and open to the public. Bring your family,
friends, a blanket and a picnic to enjoy professional theater in
a beautiful park setting! For more information, call Rosewood

Polen Farm, a beautiful and historic 19th century farmhouse and
barn situated on 15 picturesque acres at 5099 Bigger Road, is a
favorite with area residents for weddings, receptions, meetings,
luncheons, small conferences, retreats, reunions and other social affairs.
Polen Farm is operated by the Kettering Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. Groups may rent portions of the
farm or the entire facility, depending on the number of people involved and the type of event. Ample parking is available.
The Polen Farm house includes a roomy living room, dining room, sun porch, and banquet room. A seasonal tent covers a
large patio providing the flexibility of an indoor or outdoor event. These features make the Polen Farm House the perfect
place for a small, intimate gathering or a slightly larger event, of up to 130 people.
Unequaled in the community is the Polen Farm Barn. Through renovation, the barn has
become an ideal setting for craft shows, company picnics, family reunions and wedding
receptions. The lower level, which features a small service kitchen, will accommodate up
to 125 people and is usable year-round. The upper level is roomy enough for as many
as 175 people. Groups over 300 may want to reserve the entire Polen Farm facility.
Tables, chairs and use of the Gazebo are included in all rental prices.
The grounds around the farmhouse and barn have been preserved to a large extent
in their natural condition. Highlights include a formal garden patio and a Gazebo
perfect for outdoor weddings and small musicals. When the facility or grounds
are not reserved for a private renter, Polen Farm’s picnic areas are available for
public use as well.

About the Importance of Play
In contrast to passive entertainment, play builds active, healthy bodies. In fact, it has been suggested that encouraging unstructured play may be an exceptional
way to increase physical activity levels in children, which is one important strategy in the resolution of the obesity epidemic. – American Academy of Pediatrics
Regular physical activity helps improve your overall health and fitness, and reduces your risk for many chronic diseases. Fitting regular exercise into your daily
schedule may seem difficult at first, but the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans are more flexible than ever, giving you the freedom to reach your physical
activity goals through different types and amounts of activities each week. It's easier than you think!
Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity each day.
Adults need at least 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) OR 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of
vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week AND muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle
groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). Ten (10) minutes at a time is fine. Give it a try—try going for a 10-minute brisk walk, 3 times a day,
5 days a week. This will give you a total of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity. We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but it is not. That
is 2 hours and 30 minutes, about the same amount of time you might spend watching a movie. – From CDC 2008 Guidelines for Physical Activity for Americans
