Park Rx Programs

Join us on the road to a healthier YOU this year by spending some quality time in nature with our Park Rx series of programs.

The goal of these Park Rx programs is to benefit all ages in the community from children through seniors, create diverse activities to appeal to a wide range of health and wellness interests, strive to improve cognitive, emotional, social, and educational development, and create positive experiences in nature which can lead to a lifelong commitment for caring and conserving our natural resources.

With the support of Highmark Blue Shield, our sponsor, we’re excited to bring some amazing instructors and offerings to our parks and surrounding area. So, join the fun and register for some programs today!

We require advance registration for most programs, including those that are free so we can adequately prepare for the number of participants and so we can reach out to you if there are any changes in the program due to inclement weather, etc.   

 Click on the program titles below and you'll be transferred to the registration page for that program.
All programs have limited capacity, so register early!

COVID-19 UPDATE
In the past few weeks, there has been an increase in COVID cases among the unvaccinated (children included). The new variant, Omicron, has a high transmission rate. The CDC has elevated the Dauphin County community to be that of a substantial risk of exposure. We strongly encourage our guests to wear masks during indoor programs, or during outdoor programs where social distancing may be difficult.
While we encourage mask-wearing, we are not mandating it.
