There are activities for all family members to enjoy including rides, games, prizes, dancing, live music, and plenty of food and drink! The annual 5K Race is also held in the morning.
Instructional Classes
MWR offers many instructional classes to eligible personnel at either no cost or very minimal cost. Available classes include karate, swim lessons, and a variety of fitness classes. If you have an interest or a talent to share in a particular area, MWR is always open to introducing a new activity!
Intramurals
MWR has a year-round intramural program. Divisions can participate in league play for softball, basketball, flag football, volleyball, and wallyball as well as multiple golf outings. All activities are weather dependent with more information available through the MWR office.
Tournaments
At various times during the year MWR offers tournaments in tennis, racquetball, horseshoes, darts, pool, and numerous card games. We offer something for everybody!
Bus Trips and Activities
During the year MWR offers many bus trips to all authorized personnel. It has fast become a tradition to visit Washington, D.C. and New York City. These trips are usually highly anticipated and well attended by the patrons. A particularly popular bus trip is the one to NYC in December to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Hall featuring the Rockettes!
Activities throughout the year include ski trips, fishing trips, and the opportunity to purchase tickets for sporting events. Other notable events of the year include Morey’s Piers, Water Parks & Picnic Outing, Splash Zone Labor Day Party, and Fall Fest. These are wonderful and very affordable ways to spend a day with the family.
If you have additional ideas feel free to come to the MWR Committee meeting which happens every 2nd Thursday at the Harborview at 0900.
