Now that school is out for the summer, kids have more time in their day to fill with fun physical activity. Here are 5 activities perfect for kids this summer!
1. Water Days at Fayette County Park
Adventure Fayette County has been doing ‘water days’ at the Fayette County Park and other locations for years, but this is the first time Active SWV is partnering to spread the word to more kids and families. Join the fun on July 2nd and 18th, spend the evening with the kids trying out stand up paddle boarding and kayaking on the park pond. This program is led by trained volunteers, and all equipment is provided.
