Enjoy Dodgeball, Skiiing or Dancing? Here You Go

Whether you’ve never strapped on a ski or you’re ready to take on an Olympic slalom, all are invited to take part in the ’s annual ski trip to Jack Frost next month.

Parks and recreation director Theresa Miller said the department has sponsored the trip for about the last 10 years and it always attracts a diverse crowd, from rookies on up.

“We have a whole mix,” she said. “We have people who bring their own equipment and just need a lift ticket and a ride.”

Because it’s a group trip, Miller said the department gets discounted tickets—from $70 up to $120, depending on what you want to do.

While all are invited, only 40 get to go, so register now.

If skiing isn’t your thing, the recreation department has plenty of other offerings this winter, including chess and strategic games for children ages 5 to 15 (second session begins Feb. 7), yoga, hip hop and tap dancing classes, and two separate (one for kids 3 and 4, another for 5 and 6), as well as .

Children ages 1-8 can also participate in a youth bowling class beginning Feb. 7. No previous bowling experience is necessary, as supervisors will be on hand to teach the inexperienced. Children will be picked up at the and taken to Playdrome Lanes in Cherry Hill every Tuesday through March 28. The $85 registration fee (registration ends Friday, Jan. 27) covers program costs, transportation, a trophy for every participant, and a season-ending pizza party.

“We’re trying to continue to have programs for people of all ages, starting with preschool up through senior citizens,” Miller said.

The department will hold a roller skating party Feb. 23 for special needs children and their families at the International Sports, Skating and Fun Center.
