Hi friends! Hope you’re all enjoying your summer and finding ways to stay active and healthy in this heat! Luckily, we have some refreshing lakes surrounding us here in the Okanagan to cool off in! I’ve been taking advantage of beautiful (smoky) BC this summer, trying to pack as many activities as possible into my schedule since it’s my first summer living in Kelowna! Biking the Rail Trail and Myra Canyon, kayaking Okanagan Lake, running a 10km with the Learn to Run program, and “running” Berg Lake Trail in a day! I feel like the summer is only beginning and yet school is returning in just over a month. With that being said, we’ve planned tons of fun IN-PERSON events in August to guarantee you finish the summer off with a bang! Take a look at what we have planned, something is bound to catch your eye – golfing, paddle boarding, rock climbing, squash, pottery painting, and much more! With everything we’re offering and things opening up again, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. We’re just not used to this much action anymore! Everyone will have their own tolerance for returning to activities as per usual. Take your time, don’t rush. Whenever you’re ready, Recreation will be here for you!
