These individual and family opportunities include sport leagues, crafts, fitness, enrichment and other wellness programs. We have a wide range of activities from toddler to older active adults and many in between. The summer months see numerous playgrounds and programs for our school aged students. We also organize the annual 4th of July Parade and post-parade activities which is a hit for the entire community. Our Activity Guide has offerings for everyone.
