For more than two decades, Medway Community Education has enriched the lives of local residents through creative and educational programs for all ages.
Its mission continues this fall with more than 75 classes and trips, ranging from preschool t-ball and chess for kids, to aqua zumba, basketball and bread baking.
Weve been very successful and we continue to grow. Its great, said Karen Niemczyk, assistant director of Medway Community Education. We try to keep the prices as low as possible, but always bring in the best instructors and best locations with clean facilities.
The programs, which are open to non-Medway residents at no additional fee, start at $25 and vary from one-day classes, to ongoing weekly sessions. Categories include preschool programs, youth general programs and fitness, teen programs, adult fitness, wellness, home and leisure, computers and technology, business and finance and trips.
The creative classes spark interest in newcomers, like beginner guitar and ukulele, and wreath 101. Other programs, such as intermediate sewing and photography, encourage people to further pursue their hobbies.
We love to work with the Medway Community Farm for farming classes, and we offer cooking classes, music classes. We try to cover every single thing, and weve been doing very well, Niemczyk said. Were consistently adjusting what we offer and adding new things, and if something has run its course, we find something else.
In addition to the leisurely programs, Medway Community Education provides educational resources, such as courses on college search strategies and financial aid, SAT preparation, first aid and CPR for teens and adults, drivers education, personal finance, and tutorials for new technology, like the iPad and iPhone.
Fitness programs, like co-ed volleyball and pilates, are always popular with all age groups, Niemczyk said.
There are also trips available, such as day excursions to New York City and Foxwoods Casino.
Different programs are offered each season, Niemczyk said, with many fall courses beginning in October. There is rolling registration for programs that have not yet started.
