Is your daughter excited about volleyball? Here is a great chance to get her started playing as a member of a team with minimal cost and travel commitment from parents.

The best part is it’s all right here in Northfield. No traveling required.

Learn to communicate with your young child through sign language. This interactive class will teach you the basics of sign language that can be used with children. You will learn over 50 signs and several songs that will introduce a new way of communicating with your baby or toddler. Using sign language with children impacts brain development and diminishes some of the frustration parents feel trying to understand what their children are telling them. Join us and find out how exciting teaching your child a second language can be.

Love, 15, 30, 40, game! Learn the sport of tennis while having fun. A junior-sized racquet is recommended. No make-up sessions due to weather cancellations.

Looking to learn a new instrument or build on your guitar skills? One-on-one guitar lessons are a sure way to have fun while learning this great instrument. In no time you will be hosting your own garage jam sessions or sing-a-longs at the campfire. Lessons are completely customizable for your knowledge and style. Spots are limited, so call (507) 664-3648 today to set up your lesson. Please note that students in sessions A and C will have priority for the late fall sessions.
