Recreation programming is essential to everyone's lifestyles.
I provide and source leisure and recreation activities which meet your company, group or organizations specific needs.

Sourcing Programming:
When sourcing specific programs such as dance, arts, crafts, indoor group and individual sports I look first to your local community for facilitators; this builds a good relationship within the community and promotes local resources.

E.D.G.E Education Disc Golf Experience
Disc golf is a fast growing outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by everyone. Similar to golf, the object of disc golf is to complete each hole in as few throws--or strokes--as possible. Instead of using golf clubs and a golf ball, disc golfers use a flying golf disc to traverse the hole. Each hole starts with a teeing area and is completed once the disc lands in the "hole", which is a disc-catching target. While disc golf can be played with just one golf disc, the discs are designed to fly with different characteristics. Different discs can be used to hook and curve around obstacles, roll on the ground, or fly over trees. Much like golf, disc golf is full of joys and frustrations. Whether you throw that first long drive or hit the first tree off the tee, you are sure to have fun.
