A New Perspective
                                It’s easy to bid farewell to 2020 and not turn back. Maybe it’s too early, but I feel it’s important to
                                reflect on this dumpster-fire of a year and to take heart the lessons learned as we look forward to a
                                fresh year.
                                Myself, I am truly amazed how much I’ve taken for granted. The list is long, but living through the
                                pandemic has made me appreciate all the things that were taken away. I know you’ll agree, we are
                                restless to get back to our world pre-outbreak, and I know I’ll welcome it with a renewed outlook and
                                gratitude.
                                  That said, we are not out of the woods yet, and this will be a challenging winter/spring. We need to
                                  stay vigilant to keep our family, friends and community safe. Just as important, is for you to keep
     active mentally and physically. Of course, Big Foot Rec is a great source for fun and enriching programs – and we have many
     fresh activities to keep you busy. This is the perfect time to try something new, and you don’t need to look further than these
     pages.
     Be well, and I hope to see you at the next program,           Celebrations!
                                                                   Voted #1 in Family Fun in the Geneva Lakes Area in 2020! Thank

Rescheduling and Refunds due to COVID 19
We plan Winter/Spring activities in this program guide in Fall with hopes that we are able to run programs as scheduled.
Many of our programs have been designed to go virtual should the need arise.
In the event a program cannot run on its scheduled date, we will attempt to reschedule it – otherwise we will issue you a
refund. We anticipate potential challenges as we get back to normal and will do our best to keep you informed. Please
watch our website and Facebook pages for future updates. If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to
contact us.
