School’s almost out and it’s time to scramble…uh, sign up…
for fun summer activities for the kids. Finding
the right balance of physically active and educational things to keep them busy
isn't always easy, but lucky for us there’s a ton of great activities right
here in Claremore!
Let’s start right here at the Rec Center. We talked last
week about the importance of swimming as part of our regular workout routine. It
can also be an important life skill for kids. What better way to keep the kids
active and give them something new to learn than to sign them up for swim
lessons at the Rec? Lessons range from guided parent participation classes all
the way up to lifeguard training. Kids can start as early as 6 months of age. A
class schedule is HERE.
The Claremore Community Center has a slew of both physically
active and mentally challenging camps for the kids this summer. They have just
about everything from cheer-leading, to acting, and even several science
sessions starting on June 2. A full schedule is posted online HERE.
How about some plain old outdoor fun? Too often we overlook the obvious. It doesn't get any
more obvious that our local parks. Many of us drive by them every day without
even realizing how many activities there are to do in our parks. The Will Rogers
Park has a splash pad, there’s a Frisbee golf course at Claremore Lake, and how
about the many trails to walk at the RSU Nature Reserve…oh, and fishing, it’s
hard to find a place in Claremore where there’s not a body of water filled with
fish within walking distance.
Really,
these are just a handful of ideas to keep the kids active this summer. If you
have any ideas that you’d like to share, please comment below or let us know on
Facebook or Twitter!
Let’s
do this!
