APEC to End February with Facials, Zumba and Acid Rain Class

Alley Pond Environmental Center will offer three classes that will help children get fit, stay relaxed and learn about the environment next weekend.

On Feb. 25, the center will host Soothing Natural Facials from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The class, which is $18 for members and $23 for non-members, will allow kids to combine natural products – such as honey, cucumbers, crushed almonds and egg whites – to create a facial product that will cleanse and soften their skin.

The program is aimed at children, ages 7 to 12 years, and is limited to eight participants.

A healthy snack will be provided. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing.

APEC’s Feb. 26 program will be slightly less soothing, but informative. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., attendees between the ages of 8 and 12 years, will learn about acid rain.

The class is $18 for members and $23 for non-members.

The center’s Feb. 27 Zumba class will be even less relaxing, but will enable local kids to get in a solid workout.

The program, which combines fitness with dance, will be held from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Participants should be in grades one through four.

The admission price is $10 for children and $15 for children with adults, who will also be able to exercise.

Alley Pond Environmental Center is located at 228-06 Northern Blvd. in Douglaston.
