The class is open to anyone 13 years or older regardless of fitness level, including those with disabilities; students younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is also enrolled in the course.

Registration for the class is required, along with payment of the $25 fee. Registration materials may be obtained by calling MRSC at 261-7474, or emailing [email protected]. Class size is limited, and the class may be cancelled for insufficient enrollment.
