Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game. ***ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!***

Classes are available for adults and teens (12+) on Tues/Thurs/Fri from 9:30-11:30am, Tuesdays from 7-9pm, Thursdays from 7-9pm (starts 5/7), Saturdays from 5-8pm, & Sundays from 10am-1pm. *These are the days/times available from May-Aug '26!

***Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes for you to change into (in the entryway). Thank you for helping to keep our new floor looking good!***

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

Rated PG13

Kachemak Bay Campus presents a hands-on class on planning and planting perennial agroecosystems, also known as food forests or permaculture gardens. Join master gardener Shawn Jackinsky from 1 to 3 pm, on Sunday, June 21. Learn what a regionally appropriate mixed-species perennial agroecosystem is and how to design one; how to select climate-appropriate crops, as well as propagation methods. Annual plants can be incorporated, but the focus here will be on edible perennial fruits and vegetables. You will gain hands-on experience by planting out perennial portions of the KBC gardens. Each class can stand alone, but they all work together as well. To register or for more information, visit kpc.alaska.edu/communitycourses or call (907) 235-1674.
