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.

Claudine Heizer, Communications/Marketing Manager [email protected]....................................... 296-3379 Jerry Barnett, Chair Jamie Jarosik, Vice Chair Laura Arber, Member Rob Leonard, Member Carrie Kihn, Member 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.

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. To contact her call 534-7115 or email [email protected]. 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.

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. 311305-A Fee: Location: Instructor: M 7 - 8:15 p.m. June 10 $10/resident; $13/non-resident Kettering Fitness & Wellness Center Rich Munn, CPT 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.

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 p.m.), May – October 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.

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 P ARKS , R ECREATION AND C ULTURAL A RTS D EPARTMENT PRSRT STD U.S. Postage PAID Permit No. 563 Dayton, OH Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department 3600 Shroyer Road • Kettering, Ohio 45429-2799 www.ketteringoh.org summer CAMPS 2013 Look for our camps brochure on-line to get detailed information.
