Program Design
Sports and physical activities are instructed by physical education majors, elementary education majors, and graduate students in the Department of Kinesiology. Children in grades K-6 participate in a range of activities such as: team sports, gymnastics, dance, physical fitness, wellness activities, etc. Children entering or finishing kindergarten may join this program and children finishing sixth grade may participate in this program.
As of 2024, the program does not include swimming lessons due to the decommissioning of the Forker Pool. The reduced cost of the program reflects this change.
