Zumba!
Grades 1-4 (parent participation encouraged but not mandatory)


Join licensed instructor Beth Lauren Levine for a simplified Zumba-style dance class that provides exercise with an emphasis on fun! In a non-competitive and non-judgmental atmosphere parents can find a way to get their kids active while having quality time together and by example sending a positive message about fitness. Dancing is so much fun and no one loses. If a child is inactive, this is a no-pressure and non-threatening way to begin a fitness plan. This class is for children, but is also appropriate for adults attending with their child.

TIME: 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM FEE: $10 per child/$15 per child with adult

APEC Hiking Club and Trail Crew

The APEC Hiking Club and Trail Crew explores local areas for easy to moderate hikes, with some adventures to the further reaches of Long Island and elsewhere to find areas of interest and natural beauty for day trips. Our Trail Crew will provide the muscle to benefit the Environmental Center, for clean ups and other trail work. This is an activity for adults. Membership in APEC is required, and our current additional dues of $25 will cover chartering costs in the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, books and maps, and insurance. We will rely on the Trail Conference to guide us in developing the trail crew, in working with the Environmental Center. We intend to whistle while we work, so come out for the fun!

We have monthly informational and planning meetings to discuss our upcoming hikes and other opportunities. We operate as a Club, and we rely on the membership to plan and lead hikes, and other activities. Please plan to join us for our evening meetings, see our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/APEC.hikers, or e-mail the Facilitator at tom0153@hotmail.com for further information.
