Summer Drop In Classes (May 22-July 2)
Please note! Our 2023 summer sections are drop in based, and offerings week to week may vary. By purchasing an unlimited pass you are consenting to the natural fluctuations that may occur if we need to cancel things or re-arrange the offerings. The unlimited pass is designed to be a community supported model in that we do our best to offer as many classes as possible, but also ask that you understand circumstances may require us to cancel things or not offer them from time to time. In the case of cancellation, anyone already signed up for class will be notified via email, and the class will be formally cancelled on pike13, making it visibly cancelled for those not yet signed up.
Section 1 of our summer will run May 22- July 2 and all classes will be drop in. Each class is $20, or purchase our 6 class pass (buy 5, get one free) or unlimited plan for the entire 6 weeks!
