Summers can be busy, without a doubt. Still it is the perfect time to learn something new. Taking a class is a great way to meet new people and learn new hobbies or skills. Enrolling your children in summer classes and activities can also be a great way to keep them engaged and sharp through the summer break.
There are many places in the Des Moines area to take classes on a variety of subjects. The Des Moines Public School’s Community Education program offers classes in arts and crafts, personal enrichment, dance, health and exercise and many more. You could take ceramic tile making or self-defense, or even ball room dancing.
The Des Moines Social Club offers classes in all sorts of dancing, from belly dance to salsa, you can find something to move your feet. The Des Moines Social Club also offers classes in filmmaking, drawing, knitting, and writing.
Even Living History Farms offers classes from traditional bread making to photography.
Outside of Des Moines, there are still plenty of opportunities for learning. Wheatsfield Grocery, in Ames, offers monthly classes and workshops on eating healthy, cooking creatively, preserving, healing with herbs and other exciting topics.
There are many ways to expand your understanding, learn a new craft or skill, meet new people and make new connections. Between baseball games and beach bumming you can find something to enrich your mind and possibly change how you see and interact with the world.
