Limit the Sun, Not the Fun!

Summer time does not have to mean sun­burn time. There are many activ­i­ties to do this sum­mer that can pro­vide relief from those strong ultra vio­let rays. Listed below are some ideas and resources that you can use to find ways for you to limit the sun, not the fun!

Thank you to Ryan Family Amusements for their sup­port of the pro­gram dur­ing sum­mer 2009. Hundreds of kids bowled for free and learned more about being sun safe. Thank you to every­one who donated to SHADE Foundation’s penny drive dur­ing the free bowl­ing over the sum­mer and raised $1,941!

Almost every library across the coun­try offers activ­i­ties dur­ing the sum­mer. Most are free of charge but you may have to reg­is­ter before­hand to par­tic­i­pate. Even if your chil­dren are too old for story time, your library may offer a vari­ety of other things to do.

Many muse­ums offer days of free admis­sion dur­ing the sum­mer months. YMCA’s and Boys and Girls Clubs often offer free and dis­counted activ­i­ties through­out the sum­mer as well.
