A note about inclement weather: Recreation departments typically follow the lead of the school districts in the area when there is snow. I’ll do my best to reach you, but you can always check with The Olympia Center if you are concerned about canceled classes. In most cases, they will offer a refund if classes are canceled due to weather.
