General Information
CPRS welcomes 150+ park and recreation professionals from 60+ agencies across the state to participate in our annual Maintenance Management School ("MMS") hosted at the beautiful UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge. MMS offers five unique years of programming and curriculum intentionally designed for the professional development of attendees: first year, second year, and grad forum (with a rotating curriculum spanning three years). To learn more about the specific learning objectives and experiences offered for each year, please visit: www.cprs.org/education/mms
Payment of the registration fee provides students an all-inclusive experience, including:
- Four days of education, professional development engagements, and networking opportunities
- All learning materials and supplies
- Windbreaker jacket
- All meals while on-site (i.e., four breakfasts, four lunches, and four dinners)
- Four nights of lodging at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge
- Continuing Education Units ("CEUs")
Students who register are expected to participate in the entirety of the school from Monday, November 4th at 11 am through Friday, November 8th at 11:30 am. Students are strongly discouraged from leaving early on Friday as tempting as it may be with the long holiday weekend ahead (Veterans Day on Mon., 11/11). Thank you in advance for planning accordingly.

In the event the transferee differs from the original student's year of programming and/or gender, we can add the transfer request to our wait list to monitor if/when an opportunity to pursue the transfer emerges. If a transfer is approved less than 30 days in advance of the school, we cannot guarantee a windbreaker jacket will be available in the desired size of the transferee.
