August, for many, means back to school.

Where did summer go? Recreational preschool begins this month. Sign up for the three-day-a-week, three-hour-per-day Kinder Kids program; it’s a great way to help prepare your child for school and give you a break from the action, too.    

The season’s last swim lessons are taking place now and continue through August 9. Water aerobics classes take place at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as at 6:30 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday evenings.

The Kidz Camp program (ages 6-12) features two more summer sessions; weekly themes are “Reach for the Stars” and “Where the Wild Things Are.” Activities include gymnastics at Tumble Time, adventures to Cameron Park Lake, a special field trip each week and more.    

Adults – don’t feel left out! Get in on the action with an adult basketball league or drop-in sports at the gym. You can also try Tai Chi, Ballroom Dance, Truffle- or Sushi-Making 101, various CPR courses, Hunter Safety, Zumba, yoga, or Meditation and Stress Management.

Cameron Park Lake remains open (until August 12) for swimming, tennis, exercise, picnics and boat rentals. On August 18, El Dorado Dog Owners Guild (EDDOG) will host its annual “Pooch Plunge” at Cameron Park Lake. There will be a run at 8 a.m., a walk with your furry friends at 9 a.m., and the Pooch Plunge at 10 a.m. Save the date for “Grill’n and Chill’n,” scheduled for September 22 at Cameron Park Lake.
