Paint Your Pet Guided Art Class
Provide us with a picture of your pet, and we will have a pre-sketched canvas ready for your child to paint and take home! This one-night evening program will be held on Monday, Dec. 6, 2021 at the Sedwick Building (the office building which houses the OCPR office). The registration fee is $30. All necessary materials are provided. You must pre-register and provide us with a good photo of your child’s pet (dog, cat, pony, rabbit, bird, lizard, any other animal, etc.) in advance. The instructor for this class is Anissa Frantz, an experienced youth art teacher. Space is limited. As an indoor program, masks will be required for participants. Registration will close when the class fills, even if this happens before the 11/22/21 deadline.
"Go-For" Intro to Disc Golf
In this program, participants will receive an introduction to the sport of disc golf, learn some beginner tips, and get some exercise playing a round (or two) with OCPR staff and volunteers to find out if this growing sport could be their new favorite pastime! Kids will be grouped based on age range. You do not need to bring a disc! Each paid participant will receive one complimentary mid-range disc featuring a unique stamp from one of our tournaments (disc msrp ~$10) to get them started. This program is scheduled for Saturday, January 29, 2022, from 10am-12noon, at the Orange County Disc Golf Course. Pre-registration is required. The registration deadline for this program is Friday, January 14, but it may close earlier if maximum participant numbers are reached. As this is an outdoor program, masks are planned to be optional.
