Ultimate frisbee is a field sport that combines the movement and athleticism of sports like basketball, soccer, football, and lacrosse with a disc that you can bend through the air.

Whether you hope to play the sport at higher organized level or just want to impress your friends with cool throws at the next picnic, this 4-week program is for you. Space is still available!

SPACES STILL AVAILABLE FOR COMICS 201!

Just as a reminder, this is NOT a drawing class per se. Students should already have a basic understanding of drawing illustrations. This 8-week class covers everything from rough concept to a book ready, finished product. This is an analog class, which means we do it all by hand on paper. This is not a beginner class but exceptions can be made for talented students that can handle the work.

All supplies and materials are supplied by Loud Mind Studios and Comics & Cool Stuff. Register now at CarlislePA.org/parks_and_rec!
