Recreation 101, or "Rec 101," is a series of introto format classes taught by DNR staff or expert volunteers from organizations, guide services, outfitters, and more. These volunteers offer their time and knowledge at no charge to the DNR or participants. The program began with state parks in 2011 with 87 events, grew to more than 500 events in 2012, and we hope to continue to grow again in We offer almost every recreational pursuit from archery to windsurfing and hope you'll try them all. For a complete list of events, visit Fresh Air Fit: We re putting the out back into workout! The DNR is partnering with fitness instructors throughout the state to provide fitness focused classes in the great outdoors; pilates on the beach, yoga in the woods, and bootcamp fitness in an actual camp are just a few of the many ways you can use state parks for fun AND fitness this year. Launches in April 2013, visit Other Tools Other Tools Free Passes to MI Big Green Gym: The DNR is partnering with MRPA and Blue Cross to promote state and local parks as affordable fitness destinations. To support this effort, we are partnering with more than 400 libraries statewide to let library card holders check out free passes into Michigan State Parks. Passes can also be used at 20 participating community recreation agencies for family friendly activities as well. Details are still coming in on the 20 communities, but the program will kick off May 23 and runs through Oct. 1. Passes are valid for seven days from check out and are good for a free day in state parks. Look for press release in May.
