As mothers, aunties and grandmothers, we send you a bouquet of resources to get you connected and engaged in your North State community – farm markets, bike rides, trail walks, parenting classes, rafting adventures, climbing gyms, youth and family camp programs. Our magazine pages are filled with interesting things to do as a family no matter the age of your children.
As summer approaches and many waterways open, water safety is essential. We have plenty of resources – swim lessons, water safety courses and more – to keep you and your family safe around water.

As you plan family activities this spring and summer, don’t forget to check our family calendar at northstateparent.com. You’ll find a wealth of fun events and activities happening throughout the North State. And, Please help us grow by sharing North State Parent Magazine with friends and colleagues.
Stop by our booth for handcrafting fun at the Wildflower Music ’26 Festival at Community Park in Chico sponsored by Wildflower Open Classroom. Purchase your tickets now for this fun start-of-summer annual event at wildflowermusicfest.com. I love seeing all the children running free and the parents grooving to some good music. What a fabulous kick-off to summer!
Happy Spring!
