CCRC presents a 13-week Nurturing Fathers series in Victorville that brings dads and father figures together for meaningful conversation, connection, and practical skills. Built on the Nurturing Fathers Program, an evidence-based curriculum, the sessions explore positive parenting, emotional insight, and responsible fatherhood to strengthen family bonds and support children’s well-being. Each weekly meeting offers opportunities to reflect on the role of fatherhood, share experiences with peers, and take home strategies that encourage caring, consistent parenting. Dinner is included.

An inclusive karate class welcomes children, teens, and adults of all abilities at the Rick Novack Community Center. Sessions emphasize clear structure, steady routines, and personal growth in an encouraging environment. Participants learn core karate techniques while strengthening balance, coordination, focus, and confidence. Instruction is tailored to each person’s pace, honoring effort, progress, and respect for self and others. The experience fosters confidence and self-discipline, supports focus and emotional regulation, builds physical strength along with coordination and balance, and promotes respect, teamwork, and positive behavior. No prior karate experience is required. Families and caregivers are welcome to observe or participate as needed. Held every Wednesday.

Enjoy a lively karaoke session hosted by DJ Pete. Families are welcome, with a friendly atmosphere for singing favorite tunes and cheering on fellow performers.

French Bulldog owners and their pups gather at Apple Valley Civic Center Park for a community meet-up focused on connection and time together. As the group grows, safety is emphasized to ensure a positive experience for every dog and person. If a dog shows aggression or significant stress, owners may be asked to take a break and head out for the day to help keep everyone safe. The atmosphere aims to be welcoming, fun, and safe for all Frenchies and their families.
