Wild Mountain rental fees need to be paid in advance through Centennial Community Education. Please select the price option that includes WM rental fees during checkout. Help your child know what information they'll need to rent equipment. Sample Rental Form Top Chart. Students are expected to identify their assigned equipment by its unique ID number. This is especially important after taking breaks indoors, as rental gear tends to look alike. Trollhaugen rentals are done on site. Rental packages include a helmet. Please ensure your child has money to pay for rental fees. Rental Fee: $25 Have your own gear? Please properly label with your name. It would be helpful if you could bundle everything and put it in a ski/snowboard bag. This makes transportation and identification much easier. Ski equipment cannot be brought into the chalet, please leave your gear outside on the racks. If you prefer, you can purchase a Ski Corral from Wild Mountain. Centennial student special pricing for the three sessions is $3.22 (total with tax). The Ski Corral is located behind the rental counter and is always staffed. When students want to check in their gear, they have to show their lift ticket proving they have Ski Corral. Then they are provided a tag with a number on it. This is what they will return to the Ski Corral when they want their gear back. Skis and snowboards cannot be left at the Ski Corral overnight. If you are interested in using the Ski Corral for all three sessions, please let Community Ed know during registration.

The middle school improv team is entering its 23rd year! Improvisation is likely to be known as a performance form that allows audience participation, is based in comedy, and is only for the very quick-witted. Improvisation, however, is a truly adaptable art form that has proven to be an effective tool onstage and off for many different age groups and levels of experience. In other words, while it can be highly entertaining, improvisation is much more than “being funny.” The tenets of improvisation – namely saying yes or accepting ideas without judgment, creating a safe atmosphere and listening – have made this form important to actors and non-actors alike. For actors, improvisation is crucial to being in the moment and learning to trust your instincts onstage, particularly in auditions. For non-actors, improvisation is an effective tool for sharpening focus, evolving creative ideas, improving communication skills, and teamwork. Students who participate in Improv greatly improve their listening skills, focus, and schoolwork. Visit CentennialTheatre.org for more information.

This is a pay at the door offering. Information listed here is just for reference only. No online registration needed. Tot Skates: Join other little ones your own age and their grown-ups for some open skate time building balance, coordination, and basic skating skills together. Skating is also a great way to burn off extra energy for little ones. Don’t forget it's okay to fall, in fact, learning to do it safely is a great skill to have. Skating is a great hobby for enjoying our Minnesota winters and for some it may be just the first step to learning more advanced skills. You will also get the chance to see our community rink and have it all to yourselves! Bring your own skates if you have them. Very limited skate rentals available at this time. 55+ Silver Skaters: Grab some friends or neighbors and enjoy some dedicated time in the community rink. Skating is a great way to exercise, socialize and have fun. Dates: Mondays and Wednesdays, Sept 8-Dec 17, 10:30 am-noon. No open skating on non-school days (Nov 3, Nov 17 and Nov 26) $5 per adult or $5 per adult/child pair PAY DIRECTLY AT THE ARENA
