Summer Class Information

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

BASIC

·        All Basic classes are offered on weekends only. Fri, 4-9pm, in the classroom. Sat, 8am-3:30pm, driving. Sun is 8-11:30am, testing.

·        Tests include a written, multiple choice knowledge test and a driving/skills test.

·        DMACC administers the Basic Rider Course for the State of Iowa. Upon completion of the course, students will be required to take the DOT written test at the Driver’s License Station. Skills test may or may not be waived.

·        DMACC provides everything including motorcycles, helmets and gloves. YOU MUST DRESS APPROPRIATELY. This means wearing sturdy trousers or jeans, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and over-the-ankle footwear.

·        Classes are offered every weekend from April thru October, rain or shine.

·        Motorcycle Safety is different from the usual ‘5-student’ minimum in ICD. It’s done on an individual basis. Call me when you know what weekend you’d like to attend and I’ll try to get you in. Be sure about the date because if you have to cancel with less than 10 days notice, ICD gets charged anyway and we’re only paying one time, per person (barring a true emergency situation, decided on a case-by-case basis).

EXPERIENCED RIDER

·        Experienced class is 5 hours of driving. No classroom.

·        Students must provide their own motorcycles

·        Must have proof of Motorcycle license and insurance

·        YOU MUST DRESS APPROPRIATELY. This means wearing sturdy trousers or jeans, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, over-the-ankle footwear, and full-fingered gloves. Also, you must bring/wear a helmet that meets DOT standards, eye protection and full-fingered gloves.

·        Classes are offered on these Sundays. Call me when you know what Sunday you’d like to attend and I’ll try to get you in. Be sure about the date because if you have to cancel with less than 10 days notice, ICD gets charged anyway and we’re only paying one time, per person (barring a true emergency situation, decided on a case-by-case basis).

GOLF

We’ll be working with Brett Long again this year at Beaver Creek Golf Course in Grimes. They’re located at 11200 NW Towner Drive, which is just off 141 in Grimes. Call or email for directions if you need them.

·        We’ll group students/classes by shift and as ‘Beginner’ or ‘Experienced’. You decide which one you are.

·        Classes will go for 50 minutes each, three weeks in a row, on your mid-week off-days.

·        Beaver Creek provides everything. You don’t need your own clubs.

·        There is a 5-student minimum and a 10-student maximum, per class.

POTTERY

This class in still in the ‘investigation’ stage, if you will. Someone expressed interest, so I’m researching how and where we might offer this class. I also need to determine the interest level. If we get at least 5 students, I’ll look further into how we might offer it.

SELF DEFENSE

This class is also in the ‘investigation’ stage, however, it seems I won’t have to wonder about the interest level! Lots of folks have signed up. I’ll notify you once the committee and I determine how classes will be set up.

CPR

I’ve got an instructor. Once we divide the interest list by shifts and number of students, I’ll let you know what the arrangements are. I can tell you that you will complete this class in one, 3-4 hour session, whether it be morning,  afternoon, or evening.

ARCHERY

Classes will be held at Archery Field and Sports, 3725 NE 56^th Street, Altoona. Their web site is archeryfield.com, if you want to take a look. All classes are from 1-2pm.
