Schroon Lake, Kids Town USA

If you are visiting for the first time, or hadn’t paid much attention in the past, there’s a ton for kids to do right here in Schroon.

Swimming, tennis, yoga, golf, soccer and basketball are just a few of the activities kids can participate in, if you ever hear the mantra “I’m bored”.

Swimming Lessons

Everyday, Monday through Thursday, The Town offers free swimming lessons at the Town Beach, taught by the lifeguards. We’ve heard rave reviews from families who have told us that how well their kids swim after their kids learned to swim here. Sign up with the guards.

Yoga

For the young Yogi in your home, there is Kids Yoga, at our favorite studio, True North Yoga, every Tuesday from 10 am to 10.30 am. Deb Philp combines story telling, games and yoga poses for kids ages 5 – 12. @ 1073 Main Street. $5.  518-810-7871.

You Know It’s Summer

Sunset Schroon Lake, Saturday, July 2, 2011

Despite this morning’s thunderclaps – and over all crappy forecast for today – Saturday was sure feeling like it’s the 4^th of July weekend.

And you know the summer seasons has officially started when you see the following:

Renegade fire works light up the lake on July 2 (Nice show from the east side last night)

Folks not always giving way to pedestrians in cross walks (Yes, we are talking about you, Mrs Vermont Plates)

A packed to capacity Town Beach with swimmers being taken care of by our diligent life guards  (Shout out to Dan!)

Very cool looking Harley Davidsons parked neatly on Main Street

NYS Police enforcing the speed limit – A HUGE THANKS
