Campers are expected to actively participate, which helps them to improve their hockey skills and develop their fitness level. Campers ice skate on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in full hockey gear if they have it; warm clothes (suitable for ice skating) are allowed if they do not have gear. An awards ceremony and street hockey jamboree takes place on the last day of camp.

HORSEBACK RIDINGDesigned for riders of all skill levels, this specialty day camp provides the opportunity for youth to experience the joy of horses. Campers spend their time at the barn riding and learning all about horse health and care. Beginner and intermediate riders play mounted games, get to learn all about their favorite horses and learn the basics of riding. Riders with lots of experience learn more advanced levels of riding to improve their skills. Campers also play games and do arts and crafts activities designed to reinforce equestrian knowledge and concepts, giving them hands-on, well-rounded experience in what is necessary to care for an equine friend.

Each camp week concludes with a family day at the barn, with campers showcasing their skills in a Horse Show. Capital City Equestrian’s program combines qualified staff, experienced horses and excellent facilities to create a fun, safe atmosphere where anyone can gain horseback riding skills, obtain horsemanship knowledge and enjoy meeting and riding with friends.

For the safety of riders, staff and horses, campers must be able to:

1. Follow directions and stay with group.

2. Conduct themselves quietly, gently and respectfully toward fellow campers, staff and animals.

3. Have fine and gross motor skill control (hand-eye coordination, balance, core strength) sufficient to safely control their own bodies on a horse.

Pickleball is a combination of tennis,

badminton and table tennis, with players

using a paddle to hit a whiffle-like ball

over a net. Competitors play in singles,

doubles or mixed doubles, and like most

net games, a powerful serve is always

an asset. Pickleball is one of the fastest-

growing sports in the country and has

gained popularity among fans of all

ages and abilities who enjoy friendly

competition and healthy lifestyles.

In 2019, Columbus Recreation and Parks added 23 more court

overlays throughout the city and increased instructional and

open court times at our community recreation centers, with plans

to add additional dedicated courts in the future.

WHERE TO PLAYWe offer 118 Pickleball courts at 35 locations - 60 for indoor

play and 58 for play outdoors - including three dedicat-

ed Pickleball courts at Marion Franklin Park. For information

on Pickleball at our community centers, including details

about instructional and open play schedules, visit us online at

ColumbusRecParks.com/Pickleball.

RESERVING A COURTContact your local community center to reserve a court for

indoor play. To reserve outdoor courts at any of our parks, or to

reserve the indoor courts at the Bill McDonald Athletic Complex,

contact our Sports Office at 614-645-3366 between the hours of

8 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday.

ENSURE YOUR ANIMALS STAY SAFEDirect Control is part of Columbus City Code 2327.11 (Animals Running at Large) and means that an animal is on a leash/tether or will come, sit, and stay on command from the owner.

Under this code:

• No owner of any animal shall permit such animal to run large (off leash) on any property not his own. • The pet must respond immediately to the owner’s command to be under direct control. • The pet is considered not to be under direct control if it chases, injures, or kills any person, domestic animal, or damages or commits any nuisance upon property other than that of its owner.

Whoever violates Columbus Code 2327.11 is guilty of permitting animals to run at large, a minor misdemeanor. If the animal is a dog, a violation of this section is a third-degree misdemeanor.

If the animal causes physical harm to any person, or if the offender is, or has been, the owner of a dog which was declared a dangerous or vicious animal, a violation of this section is a first-degree misdemeanor.

Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is committed to the safety and well-being of the people and the pets in our community. We invite all pet lovers to work with us to keep our community welcoming and safe for everyone.

CREATIVE ARTS EVENTMay 6-15

Engaging in creative activities keeps minds active and nimble, reduces stress

and builds social circles. For more than 60 years, Columbus Recreation and

Parks has nurtured and celebrated the artistic talents of central Ohio area

residents ages 50+. The Creative Arts Event showcases these artists with an

exhibition of nearly 500 award-winning arts and crafts, poetry and short sto-

ries submitted by community members. Hosted at the Martin Janis Commu-

nity Center, this celebration features a full slate of visual and performing arts

programs, including the annual Line Dance Showcase.

CITY LEADERSThis nine-month initiative works to develop Columbus’ leaders of

tomorrow by providing, hands-on education and mentoring. City

Leaders offers an immersive learning experience for participants,

teaching them about the inner workings of the City of Columbus.

Areas of focus include Science, Technology, Arts, History,

Education, Health and Nutrition, Social Services, Law Enforcement,

Safety, Government, Economic Development and Community

Service. In addition to experiential learning opportunities,

participants benefit from mentoring by current leaders from within

the City of Columbus and local partner organizations.

This leadership opportunity is open to middle schoolers, grades 6-8 and ages 10-15, who reside within the City of Columbus. The hope is that the selection process will render a very diverse group of forward-thinking children, eager to learn all about their city and become a catalyst for change. To learn more and to apply, visit Columbus.gov/CityLeaders.

worksites throughout the city. We offer an Education Individual Development Account (IDA) for participants who

complete certification in EverFi Financial Literacy, which rewards those who save their earnings with an $8 to $1 match,

to be used for post-secondary educational expenses. The maximum amount that can be matched is $500, giving

them $4,500 to put toward expenses for trade school and/or 2-year or 4-year accredited colleges and universities.

Experienced job coaches perform daily worksite visits to provide support and guidance.

NEIGHBORHOOD VIOLENCE INTERVENTION

Our Neighborhood Violence Intervention (NVI) program uses proven strategies to interrupt violence at the street

level and promote conflict resolution. Trained Interventionists use mediation, conflict resolution and community crisis

response tactics as part of our proactive strategy to stop violence before it happens.

of proven prevention and intervention strategies which increase protective factors in the lives of

Columbus youth and young adults, ages 14-23.

and enriching activities during school breaks. Learn more about APPS at bit.ly/APPSCbus.
