Join us for Walking Club hosted by Cook Inclusive!
Every other week we host a walking club, on Mondays at 5PM, that are aimed to be inclusive of every age and ability, while we explore different paved paths throughout Carbondale. We walk about 2 miles every meeting. We will meet outside of the Cook Inclusive office (50 Weant Blvd, Carbondale, CO 81623). We will also end our walk at the same location.
This is a FREE event that is led by individuals that have education and training focused on inclusive navigation. That means whether you join us with children in strollers, are wheelchair bound, or use a mobility aid, we are able to help provide a positive experience.
Again, this is an inclusive club, so even if you do not have mobility concerns, we invite you to still join us for an easy paced walk!
If you have any questions or a follow up, PLEASE reach out. My email is libby@cookinclusive.org

Want to test the waters before committing to a several-week class? Crave an evening out of the house? Interested in trying something new? This 2.5hr teen & adult one-day intro to wheel throwing is perfect for learning the basics and opening your eyes to the possibilities of clay. You will gain a better awareness of the process and craftsmanship that goes into ceramics. We will cover centering, opening, and pulling clay pieces on the potter's wheel. Because this is just a 2.5 hour introductory experience, the intention is to focus on process. You won't go home with any finished pieces, but you will have a great evening learning a new skill, getting dirty, and meeting new people. Careful! You might just leave wanting more…
