Classes will begin April 16 and run through June 22.
Registration forms are due by April 23. A late fee per class will be applied to registration forms received after April 23.
Fees for individual classes are between $40 and $60 for the term, with the exception of two free classes funded by Clallam County Health and Human Services, Developmental Disabilities department.

Spanning two terms, spring and fall, this class is limited to 15 participants and will be held Thursday mornings at the Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church, 925 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim.

These workshops, delivered in partnership with Concerned Citizens, expand learning opportunities for individuals and families living on the west end of Clallam County.
