September means the start of the fall sports season, a BBQ competition and harvest season.

Are you a backyard griller? If so, don’t miss the Cameron Park CSD’s barbecue event, Grill’n & Chill’n, on September 15 at Cameron Park Lake from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Cost is $5 per person; children 6 and under are free. Enjoy BBQ competitions, live music, a “fun zone,” scrumptious smells and tasty food. Call out those local braggers and put your skills to the test by competing in the BBQ competition with your neighbors and friends. Register for arts & crafts, food and exhibitor booths, as well as for the BBQ competition at cameronpark.org. Get ready for a day of fun and everything BBQ!

Recreational preschool is in full swing. Sign up for an all-week or three-days-a-week program, depending on what your child prefers. These three-hour-per-day programs are a great way to help prepare your child for school and give you a break from the action, too.   

The start of school brings the CREW (teen center) to life.  Teens in grades 6-8 can come to the Community Center after school and take advantage of the center’s computers, video games, gym, tutoring services and more. Participants are required to sign up in advance (open now) and are welcome to stop by and check it out.  

The pool remains open for evening and weekend swims for a bit longer. Hurry and cool off while you can! On Friday afternoons, FUNdamental volleyball – open to boys and girls in grades 4-8 – will be conducted by the coaches of the Gold Cal Volleyball program at the Community Center gym. Flag football is also starting – get your gear and meet at the field. Registration continues until the end of the month.  

Are your children struggling with addition and subtraction or multiplication? If so, two different classes are offered to assist. Your child will have fun learning math concepts while also memorizing addition and subtraction facts; or students can learn multiplication facts the fun, fast and easy way.
