REACH Rec and Sports

We offer an expansive lineup of quality classes and activities (known here at MDPC as REACH Classes) which develop knowledge and skills for children, youth, and adults. There are three sessions offered each year – Fall, Spring, and Summer. The community is welcome to participate; you don't have to be an MDPC member! Contact registrars Jan or Cathy at  or 713-490-9564 for more information.

If a student is unable to attend or complete a class and a refund is requested, a refund will be made only with the approval of the instructor, and include an administrative fee of $25, credit card fee, and any supply fee retained from your payment. No refund less than 3 days prior to first class.
