Summer break is officially here. If you are looking for activities to keep your body and mind busy here’s a look at activities this summer at Yuma Proving Ground.
The Splash Pad next to the Desert Oasis Housing office got new flooring in May and will be ready for its grand opening party on June 6.
The Kahuna Lagoon hosted its Kickoff to Summer Pool Party on May 31, that means the pool hours will be extended. June 5 through August 4, the community pool will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 to 6 P.M.
Patrons will see updates at the Kahuna Lagoon as well. Supervisory Recreation Specialist Dylan Black said, “We have repainted the ground at our splash pad and redone the volleyball court out there near the playground.”
They are also opening the pool for themed night swimming. The first being a glow night on June 14 and another night swim is scheduled for June 28.
Black has lots planned at the Fitness Center as well. The volleyball season starts the first week of June. A one-day cornhole tournament is planned for June 6 inside the gym.
If your vibe is more namaste, instructor Dani Compton is hosting a Friday night yoga session at the Cactus Café.
Compton says there’s also activities at the Post Library — the first event being Pops with Cops where the community will get to eat popsicles while mingling with YPG cops and learning about their gear. June 12 there will be a Father’s Day themed activity.
The always-popular summer reading program runs June 10 through July 23. The program is open to all ages and winners are chosen by age categories. Compton explained, “They read as many minutes as they can. Then there is first, second and third prize winners for each age category.”
There is also an overall winner. Last year’s prize was a tablet. Compton said the end of the year party will take place on July 25, “After we tallied everything up, we will give out all the prices and awards to the top readers there. Everyone who participates gets a summer reading goodie bag and certificate.”
So, mark your calendar and get out there to enjoy the summer.
