Letter from the Director
On behalf of the Cripple Creek Parks and Recreation Department
please accept my gratitude for your strong support of our programs and
services. We value your involvement in the recreation programs that you
and your family have participated in this past year.
It is our department’s vision to build a healthy and happy
community that improves people’s lives. I am proud to report, as of
November 2015, we have served 33,129 visitors in the June Hack
Community Center, 22,724 participants in our programs and 2,699
participants used space in the June Hack Community Center. Giving us
a total of 55,484 individuals served. We are unable to track just how many people have used our
City Park, Mountain Wave Skate Park, the basketball court and Mountain View BMX track.
We are extremely proud of our new web site: www.ccparksandrecreation.com Check it out
and let us know what you think! It is a very easy way to see all of our amazing programs and

Corporate Fitness
$600 per Year (Includes all employees)
The importance and benefits of exercise has
become so great that many companies have now
started their own corporate fitness programs to
help lower insurance costs. The main reason
companies start a corporate fitness program
today is because it helps prevent health issues
by reducing claims by employees which in turn,
saves lots of money for the company. These
corporations realize that there is a link between
the prevention and the investment of health in
their staff. In addition to increased productivity
and a reduction in the number of absenteeism, a
corporate fitness program generally raises the
company morale and camaraderie amongst
corporate fitness members.

broadened to a statewide competition. And in 1991 Breckenridge hosted the first International Snow
Sculpture Championships. Since its inception, the event has fostered a spirit of worldwide artistic
camaraderie, bringing together cultures as diverse as Russia, China, Japan, Morocco, Belize, Finland,
France, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, Mexico, Great Britain, Spain, Bulgaria and Canada, just to
name a few. Language barriers are broken down; political differences are set aside; and the result: art,
pure and simple.

Classes
Aikido
(The way of Harmonious Power)
Days: Mondays and Wednesdays
Time: 6:00 - 7:00
Cost: $5 per session or $40 per month
Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art developed by Morehi Uyeshiba (often referred to as O Sensei)
as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and spiritual beliefs. Uyeshiba's goal was to
create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their
attacker from injury. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and
redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head on.
The Cripple Creek Aikido Club is headed by Chuck Caldwell, Shihan. Chuck holds a 9th Dan (9th
degree black belt) in Kihara Aikido. Chuck is a direct student of Karl Geis, Hanshi and is
currently the Clinician of the Fugakukai International Association.
