Fall for some great activities at Dovercourt Recreation Centre

September 1, 2019By Sheryl Bennett-Wilson
Dovercourt has just wrapped up a busy summer of camps – over 3,000 children enjoyed camps of all kinds. Now Dovercourt is switching gears for fall session, offering a full menu including swimming, fitness, sports, music and arts for both kids and adults.

 

Dovercourt offers group and private swim lessons every day of the week, with daytime, after-school and evening options. Their highly-skilled instructors teach techniques efficiently and effectively in the warm water, beach entry pool.

 

If your summer included too much relaxation and not enough movement, get back to a regular routine with group fitness, Gold Club or registered fitness programs including yoga, Pilates, strength, spinning, barre, Zumba, aqua fitness and more.

 

Moms-to-be and parents with babies will find pre- and postnatal classes to suit their needs including aqua exercise, yoga, strength and spinning, as well as opportunities to socialize. Those with chronic health conditions will benefit from a large menu of programs including rehab walking; Feldenkrais; aquafitness for healthy backs, fibromyalgia, arthritis and Parkinson’s; osteofit; and strength and flexibility for Parkinson’s.

 

Kids can channel their energy in sports –including multisport, martial arts, skateboarding, tennis, climbing, rope skipping –and explore creativity and technique with the Dovercourt Dance School. Other artistic options include group and private lessons with Dovercourt’s Bluesfest School of Music and Art, with a talented team of instructors.

 

Kids can keep that summer camp feeling going all year! Dovercourt’s After School program and PD days feature the energetic programming team and many of the same staff that your kids enjoyed in Dovercourt camps.

 

The After School Program offers structured, age-appropriate activities for children in JK –Grade 6. Kids can make new friends from other schools and enjoy a variety of unique activities and special events like sleepovers and talent shows. The wealth of extra-curricular activities available to children in the After School program means your kids can do their swim lessons, sports lessons, dance class, home alone course, leaving more family time on the weekend. PD Day packages for all the school boards are already available, so book now and check it off your list.

 

As summer sports wind down, are you looking for a place for your end-of-season sports team party?

 

Dovercourt offers pool parties, room rentals, free parking, an adjacent park with play structures, and food delivery by Boston Pizza Carling Ave, making it an awesome choice for your party.
