The Summer 2026 issue of Growing Up Chico is here, and it’s filled with the kind of stories, resources, and local love that make this season with family feel even more special. From summer events and parenting reflections to standout kids, teachers, dancers, bakers, and community voices, this issue celebrates the joy, mess, movement, and magic of growing up in Butte County.
On the cover, North State Ballet reminds us that dance is about so much more than movement. Through strong training, encouragement, discipline, and heart, they are helping young dancers build confidence, character, and a deep sense of belonging.
