The First Session is scheduled on July 16 & 17 Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Classes are from 5:30 to 9:30. We will have a few short breaks so you can stretch and have the snacks you bring to class. Class instruction is free and all books and materials will be provided. A $10. NYS certification processing fee will be charged to those 18 years or older.
The second Session will be at the same time and location on August 20 & 21, Tuesday and Wednesday, evenings. Make it a family affair or bring a buddy. Minimum 10 years of age to enroll. Class size is limited.
