SUPPLEMENTAL FEES PROGRAM
PROGRAM MISSION:To
provide high quality, fee supported recreation and leisure opportunities.
The Supplemental Fees Program is
fully fee supported. It functions like
an enterprise fund and supports entrepreneurial types of programs for residents
as long as they fully recover costs.
The Supplemental Fees Programs consists of components in the following
functional areas:
The Recreation component consists of recreational
classes and workshops and personal training sessions. The goal of the Recreation component is to provide an opportunity
for participants to explore both the creative and physical aspects of
recreation. The program is designed to
challenge and engage the participants at various levels in a variety of
activities. Classes for youth and adults are offered on a quarterly basis in a wide
variety of subject areas including fitness and wellness, dance, creative
movement, music, and arts and crafts.
The Sports component provides progressive skill
training to youth and adults in swimming, diving, gymnastics and specialty
sports camps and judo. The instructional swimming program includes
learn-to-swim sessions, stroke development and refinement, diving, water
aerobics and water exercise for individuals with arthritis. Gymnastics classes include progressive
instructional opportunities in the traditional disciplines for preschool
through adults as well as holiday and weeklong camps, birthday parties,
clinics, and special weekend events.
The competitive components of the Gymnastics program include the
Arlington Aerials, the Dynamites, the Trainers and pre-developmental boys and
girls' teams. Approximately 23 one-week
specialty sports camps are offered in the summer months and during winter and
spring school vacations. These
contracted camps provide specific skill development in one or more sports
offerings.
The Cultural Affairs component provides an open
studio program in pottery, print-making, tile works and approximately 25
"Master Classes" in varied visual arts media designed for the advanced artist. It also operates the Ellipse Craft Shop, an

A number of special events, including films, lectures, open houses, and
exhibitions are also offered at the Lee Arts Center.
The Parks and Natural Resources component

Gulf Branch and Long Branch nature centers, Fort C.F. Smith Park and the Park
Ranger Unit. The goal of this component
is to educate participants about the natural and cultural resources of
Arlington. Educational programs are
offered on a quarterly basis for youth, adult, and family audiences in a
variety of subject areas. Also included
