Adult Programs of the Mulvane Recreation Center

Mulvane Recreation Commission Inviting participation, building relationships, enhancing lives

Adult Programs

All new classes require pre-registration with payment by the specified class deadline.
Classes have size limits and only pre-paid registrants will be allowed to participate.

Effective Immediately: Out of District class participants will be required to pay an extra $5 fee because they are not part of the tax-based support for MRC. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. Class fees will no longer be pro-rated.

Class Participant Rules:

You need not be a member to attend a class.
Class fees are separate from membership fees and are based on frequency, length and cost of providing the class.
Class participants may not bring children younger than 10 to the MRC during their class. This includes both the gym and sitting in the classroom. If you plan on having your 10 year old and above children with you while in class, they must be part of a family membership or have a paid day pass to use the gym.
