Minnetonka’s Summer Programs Boast Over 7,000 Registrations with Wide Variety of Options

The Minnetonka School Board recently highlighted the burgeoning success of its community education programs, with reports of over 7,000 summer registrations across nearly 900 class sections. The programs cater to a diverse range of interests, offering activities for both youth and adults, including options in arts, STEM, recreation, and performing arts.

01:43Executive Director Kim Carlson and Director Jenny Bedurka detailed the extensive programming available, emphasizing the intentional planning that ensures a variety of options each week to engage students and adults alike. They reassured parents that despite the high demand, there is still room in many classes, and late registrations are encouraged.

04:57In addition to the regular classes, the board discussed several premier summer events, such as the Minowasha Mud Run and the Tour de Tonka. These events, scheduled for July 12 and August 2 respectively, continue to be popular community highlights and are open for registration. The Tour de Tonka, in particular, requires several volunteers, and the board expressed appreciation for the community’s ongoing support in making these events successful.

06:36The board also turned its attention to fall programming, announcing that the fall catalog would be available in mid-July, with registration following shortly thereafter. Popular programs like chess and STEM offerings are expected to fill quickly, and families are advised to register promptly once enrollment opens.
