Mt. Bachelor Ski Education Foundation
All I, Trish, have to say is FANTASTIC! My son embarked on his first year with MBSEF after convincing me that he REALLY needed to join. I thought this silly, since he spent most of his free time at the mountain and I thought he was pretty good, but reluctantly, I agreed. His experience has been incredible! The quality instruction has He hits the slopes with a newfound confidence and has developed a passion for quality “mountain time”. Check out this out for more information www.mbsef.org

Bend Metro Parks and Recreation
Bend Parks and Rec summer camps and activities are true lifesavers for working parents. While they have much to offer year-round, parents line up hours before the doors open on summer activity “sign-up” day. From traditional team sports to exploring the great outdoors to arts and crafts to science camps. Bend Parks and Rec has it all.
Deserving of its own mention, the Juniper Swim and Fitness Center is the premier public swim and fitness center in Bend . You can access information about all activities available through Parks and Rec, including the Juniper pool by accessing the link below.
