G-Town Rec Scene

Calling all teens…the Recreation Department and Youth Futures have teamed up to offer some very exciting opportunities for you to take part in this summer.  The teen adventure trips and activities include a Brewer game, Country Springs Water Park, Great America, introduction to disc golf and a disc golf cookout party. 

The Brewers trip includes a ticket for the game against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, July 10 as well as tailgating before the game and bus transportation.  The seats are located at the 200 level.  This whole day of fun only costs $26 for Germantown residents and $39 for non-residents and school district residents.

The Country Springs Water Park trip includes bus transportation, a pizza lunch and water park entrance.  Come along and enjoy such things as a three person boat ride, lazy river, water basketball and tube slides.  The fee to cover this entire day is $25 for residents and $38 for non-residents and school district residents.  It is a nice way to end the summer on August 12^th.

Great America is going to be a day of fun in the sun on Tuesday, July 8th.  With the registration fee, you get entrance into Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor as well as bus transportation.  Make sure you bring a bag lunch, towel, swimsuit and sunscreen.  All this can be yours for $46 if you are a resident and $68 if you are a non-resident or school district resident.

Chaperones for the three trips get everything for free, but they must be at least 18 years old.  The maximum number needed for each trip is four so hurry or all the spots will be gone!

Two activities for teens that we have this summer are disc golf related.  Come learn how to play at Spassland Park.  This is a fast growing sport; don’t miss your chance to become a part of it.  On July 14th & 21st, you will learn a brief history of the sport, some basic throwing styles and the rules you need to play this exciting game.  This only costs $29 if you are a resident and $43 if you are a non-resident or school district resident.  Plus you get your own disc to keep!

The disc golf cookout party is for all levels of players on Wednesday, June 25.  Just starting out or already an expert?  Come and join us for some games and lunch at Spassland Park.  It is only $6 for residents and $9 for non-residents and school district residents.

More information for any of these events can be found in the recreation department’s summer programs brochure or by calling (262)250-4710.  Don’t miss out on these amazing experiences!

The registration deadline for Traditional Playground, Awesome August and Playgrounds Plus is fast approaching. Make sure you register your child by Monday, June 2^nd to participate in the summer fun. If your child is going into grades 1 through 6, they are eligible for the programs. Traditional Playgrounds and Playgrounds Plus are offered at four locations throughout the village (County Line, MacArthur, Amy Belle and Rockfield Schools), and Awesome August is at two locations (Kinderberg and Firemen’s Parks).  Visit www.village.germantown.wi.us to download registration forms, or call the Recreation Department Office for additional information at 250-4710.

 

Playground activities will continue rain or shine with the use of a gym and/or classroom at each school. There will be no playground activities on July 4^th so make sure you plan accordingly.

While it has been over 130 years since Arbor Day was founded, the simple idea of setting aside a special day for tree planting is now more important than ever.  On Friday, May 9th Germantown Kids Klub spent several hours planting trees at Friedenfeld Park.  Over 50 participants ages 5-12 took part in the event.  The kids spent time planting crab apple & maple trees as well as participating in a forestry class instructed by Park & Recreation Commission Member, Mary Ellen Gray. 

On Monday, May 5 summer program registration began.  This was the first big test for online registration and we encountered a small problem.  We know what the problem is and are taking immediate steps to address it.  

As of right now the number of households that can register online at one time is limited to 10.  When this issue is resolved we will update this site.

If you continue to have issues please contact the office so we can assist you.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

Thanks,
