Last week, MPRB was Duluth bound! The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association Conference was a huge success, bringing recreation professionals across the state together to connect, exchange ideas, and explore the latest developments in the recreation field.

Several of our staff members had the opportunity to present and share their own experiences and successes. Their presentations included:

Uplifting Youth Voices – Ezra and Mary
Archives to Action: Up-Lifting Community Connection Through Historic Storytelling in Minneapolis Parks – Angela, Joe, Maggie and Rachel
Growing Our Future: Cultivating Recreation Workers Through Intentional Programming - Jim, Becky and Rachel

After a few days of learning and collaborating, we've returned with fresh ideas to continue serving our community!

Our last School Release Day Camp over MEA Break was all about our Outdoor Explorers!

These campers had an adventure filled day packed with outdoor fun! They reeled in over 9 fish🐟, enjoyed a nature walk to take in the changing seasons🍁, and explored the garden to discover how our food grows. To top it all off, our campers picked their own fresh tomatoes and herbs to make homemade salsa plus some dip. 🍅

What a great group of explorers and a day filled with new experiences! Use the link below to secure your camper a spot in a future camp. 😁

We're still thinking about all the fun we had at Fall Fest last week! 🍁🎃

Our campers painted pumpkins, whipped up delicious apple crisp topped with homemade whipped cream (not pictured because it was THAT good😋), captured the day with a ghostly photoshoot using Polaroids 📸👻, took on a puzzle competition, and got creative with tons of fall crafts!

Even the rain couldn't put a damper on our fall fun! 🍎

School Release Day Camps are always a blast! 🎉

This time, our campers explored the Science Museum of Minnesota, where there was something exciting around every corner. From News broadcasting and dinosaurs to searching the Galaxy in the Omni Theater, our campers had so much to see, learn, and discover. 🦖⚛

We'd say it was a day well spent over MEA Break! 😀
