Rocklin Reveal
On April 8, the city will showcase their 2017 schedule of events, concerts and community programs. Attendees can look forward to an afternoon of fun at the free event, which will include a variety of food trucks, kids’ activities and live music. There will also be a chance to meet with city officials from each department to see how their teams help shape the community. The event also marks the official christening of the amphitheater’s new moniker, Platinum Living Amphitheater at Quarry Park, and the announcement of its naming rights partner for the next three years, Platinum Living Services.
CAMP EDMO
The city has partnered with Camp Edmo to help residents raise curious, courageous and kind kids. Why? Because research shows these character traits are highly predictive of high achievement and life satisfaction (i.e., happy grown ups). Camp Edmo works with the brightest educational minds from top universities, like UC Berkley, and leading museums, such as the California Academy of Sciences, to incorporate the latest methods of building social and emotional learning (SEL) and character skills through science, maker, tech and nature programs. This spring, they’re bringing two ingeniously fun camps for kiddos in grades K-4. In City Blocks, campers will complete a range of architectural challenges, both with physical materials and in the digital world of Minecraft. In Wildlife Wonder, they’ll explore and discover the strange things some North American creatures must do to eat, communicate, avoid predators, and survive natural disasters. Programs start the week of April 10. For more information, visit rocklin.ca.us/classes-and-programs.
SOCCER
Want your kids to learn how to play or practice their skills? Kinder Kickers Club (ages 3-6) and Skyhawks Soccer (ages 7-12) are here to help! Sessions happen on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. Kinder Kickers Club is a partnership between the City of Rocklin and Vision Soccer Training that has participants learn the basics in a fun environment. Skyhawks Soccer is the nation’s number one camp for learning the fundamentals of the game. To register, visit teamsideline.com/rocklinrecsports.

Here Comes Summer

Are you ready for summer? It’s going to be here before we know it, and the new Summer Recreation Guide is available now.
Plan your swim lessons for the entire season at any one of three pools. A word to the wise: swim lessons fill up quickly, so register early. Also, be sure to mark your calendar for the opening of the Roseville Aquatics Complex on Memorial Day weekend.
The next few months are jam-packed with options for kids. Check out Camp Roseville, Teen Scene or Camp Play to fill your little one’s days with field trips, games and special events. This year features a new day camp, Rec-U, which is like a “choose your own adventure” camp with options that range from photography and karate, to woodworking and yoga. Pick your interest and make a day of it!
But don’t worry—summer isn’t just for the kids. Adults can stay active as well with tennis lessons, dance programs, book clubs and trips. And whatever you do, don’t forget about the City of Roseville’s fun-filled events that range from concerts and farmers’ markets to parades. There’s something for everyone.
