In recognition of Athletics as a pathway to strong character and service ethics, Parks and Recreation and Men as Peacemakers are bringing UMD Student Athletes to conduct fun games and activities on the indoor turf that will foster fitness, social ties and good sportsmanship.

 

This is an opportunity for youth ages 7-17 from across the city to come socialize and participate in organized game activities at the Duluth Heritage Center's Indoor Turf Facility. University of  Minnesota Duluth Athletes, Parks Staff and Men as Peacemakers will assist leaders in character development activities and sports oriented games on the indoor Turf Facility. Games such as kickball, flag football, disc golf, soccer parachutes, relays and obstacle courses will be played. Participants will be divided by age, ability and interests. Parents / Guardians must register children on-site and are encouraged to participate. A healthy snack will be provided after each session. This activity is FREE and a joint effort by Parks and Recreation and Men as Peacemakers. The Heritage Sports Center is located at 120 South 30th Avenue West.
