| Video: Today's theme song. Well, school ends today for the elementary kids. I'm not hip to the jive of the high school or JHS schedules. But since my kiddies are home for the summer that means a change in my work schedule and a need to populate their lives with fun summer experiences. Most people's summer dance card tends to fill up fast. But here are some CARD activities to consider for the big '09. Check out CARD's revamped web site for all of the things they have available. CARD really does provide a lot of opportunities for summer classes and other fun activities. For example, the Neighborhood Night Out is occurring in parks around town this summer. Baroni Park had one last week. Spark N' Cinder is scheduled to play, there will be low cost food vendors, and a bunch of little activities for people to take part in (bounce house, slip-n-slides). Or you can just hang with your neighbor on the lawn. Day Date Time Location W 6/24 6:00-9:00 PM Peterson Park W 7/29 6:00-9:00 PM Wildwood Park W 8/26 6:00-9:00 PM Oakway Park Camp-Chi-Da-Ca (Chico Day Camp) is always fun. Your kid will join the long tradition of other Chico kids that know the camp song "Go Bananas" if they attend Chi-Da-Ca. I would not be surprised if this is sold out by now. Coming up on June 13th is CARD's Community Campout. This is a fun opportunity to camp in Bidwell Park. It takes place at the Hooker Oak Recreation Area, near the Sherwood Forest disc golf course. In fact, I was setting up disc golf courses for campers for a couple of years in this area, and when CARD wanted to build a disc golf course I knew we could fit a kid's one at Hooker Oak because of the campout. You must register for this event by tomorrow! CARD is hosting its annual Community Campout. This event will include dinner, a moonlit walk to the Kiwanis Chico Community Observatory, camp songs, arts and crafts, family games, pancake breakfast and more! Participants are asked to bring their own camping equipment and personal items. Tent camping only, no trailers! This is an alcohol, drug and smoke free event. Participants must pre-register at the CARD Office by Friday, June 5th. Saturday, June 13th, check-in begins at 4:00 pm. Sunday, June 14th, departure time is 10:00 am. Course#: 5962 Date: Saturday and Sunday, June 13-14 Fee: $20 per family Site: Hooker Oak Park Volunteers from the Outsiders will be leading the night hike to the community observatory at the campout. It's really fun to trek the campers out to the observatory. We normally go in a big group, but this year we might shoot for staggering smaller groups so there's not so much of a wait to see the universe when everyone shows up at the same time. Other upcoming events include the Movies In the Park. I'll be sure to highlight those as their dates approach. Highlight...the first on is June 20th, and is Shrek. I keep asking for them to show 300. No such luck. |

About Me: Fasten your seatbelts for an exhilarating trip through Chico's public policy; I guarantee it's marginally better than public access TV.
