Each season, Niverville Recreation & Wellness creates a comprehensive leisure guide outlining the programs, events, and classes that will be available for the coming season. The winter guide is out now and highlights both old favourites and fun new activities.
On December 8, the CRRC will host their Community Christmas. From 9:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., you can take a photo with Santa—just be sure to bring your own camera.
ROC Eastman (Recreation Opportunities for Children) will be onsite with a trailer to accept donations of money or lightly used sporting equipment. Cash donations will also be accepted at the Santa photo area.
This community event will also feature an opportunity to go for a skate with the brand-new Niverville High School Panthers hockey team from 12:30–1:30 p.m.
Many exciting new opportunities are featured this season. From February 19 until April 23, Niverville Rec will offer baseball programs for those between the ages of 8 and 10, and 11 and 13, as well as softball for the 11–13 age group.
From January 15 until March 12, the little ones can get wild in the Mymo’s Mixer program.
“It’s a parent-child program for children aged one to three that includes elements of gymnastics, songs, and puppets for a fun, play-based movement program that teaches fundamental movement skills and cooperative play,” says Teresa Mistelbacher, supervisor of camps and recreation programming.
New golf programming will be available this winter as well. Girls in Golf for ages 6 to 8 and 9 to 13 is a two-week program held once per month in January, February, and March. And from January 13 until February 17, the CRRC will offer Adult Golf Mondays.
Pickleball skill clinics for all ages will run throughout January and a winter pickleball tournament will take place on December 18.
On January 3, just before the kids head back to school, there will be a day camp for those between the ages of 6 and 13. The theme of this year’s camp is Arctic Adventures.
Spring break will feature a whole week of fun day camps for kids. These camps will run from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and will have themes like Athletic Anarchy, Jurassic Adventure, and Totally Gross Science.
