Looking for a way to keep your kids healthy and active this summer? Give them a Vancouver Summer Adventure guide: a passport to free or low-cost community activities and summer fun.
Whether it’s planting a garden, watching a cooking demonstration at a farmers market, bike riding along a trail, joining a summer reading program or helping with a park cleanup, VSA has something for every child.
“The goal of Vancouver Summer Adventure is to get families to eat smart, play hard, experience nature, learn and serve,” said Tricia Mortell, Clark County Public Health’s chronic disease prevention manager. “Public Health and its community partners are piloting this program in central Vancouver to connect families to existing resources and help kids explore and thrive during the summer months.”
As they participate in local activities and events, kids will get their guides stamped (much like a passport) and turn them in at the end of summer for the chance to win prizes. Central Vancouver schools (Washington, Roosevelt, Ogden, King, or Harney) will compete for the highest percentage of student participation and the chance to win a $2,000 prize toward physical education.
