We are happy and excited to share with you our summertime edition filled with fascinating stories and suggestions for fun family adventures close to home.
With current gas prices in mind, many families are reevaluating their summer plans and we are here to help! Our summer edition is packed with suggestions and tips to keep your family engaged and happy all summer long – right here in the North State. You’ll find info on rock climbing, river rafting, kayak adventures, hiking locations, summer outdoor concerts, family group camp adventures you can join and so much more. If swim lessons or summer camps are on your agenda, this issue has all the details you’ll need to guide you to exceptional experiences for your child. I’m forever grateful for living in the upper California region of the North State and the variety of outdoor experiences here to enjoy in summer and in every season. Don’t forget to consult our popular online Family Calendar at northstateparent.com/calendar for daily information about special events.

Happy Summer!
In gratitude for letting us serve you,
Pamela Newman and the North State Parent Staff
