Karate
Traditional karate is a Japanese martial art. It is a lifetime activity that improves all aspects of physical fitness, promotes cognitive development and emotional stability. Karate improves self-image and self-control. Karate also teaches the value of discipline and personal defense strategies. Karate’s foundation is in self-defense not dueling or military engagement. Through training, students become more aware of the world around them. This awareness allows the karate practitioner to assess and avoid dangerous situations before physical confrontation takes place.

Classes are divided into two category’s, Beginners and Regular. Both classes are open to all age groups. Parents that are interested are encouraged to train with their children in the Beginner session. Adults wishing to start classes without children can attend the Regular session.
Instructors: Skip Mathews, 3rd degree black belt and Thom Macfarlane, 3rd degree black belt

2008 was a great snow season and our trips booked out early. We are picking up our boards and skis and heading back up the mountain in ‘09. These trips make great Christmas gifts for that picky teenager. We’ll even make you a certificate that can be placed under the tree or in a stocking. Contact the Teen Program starting in November to inquire about our 2009 Snow Tour Trips and to receive updated information. These trips will be available to teens in 7th-12th grade. Space will be limited.
