Here Comes the Fun...

Letter from the Director...

Here comes the sun…

There is no better place to be in the summer than the Pacific Northwest! Specifically, although potentially biased, I can’t think of a better place to enjoy the summer than Longview. Long days, warm weather, and a beautiful city right in our backyard!

As soon as summer hits, our small but mighty team jumps into action and absolutely shines. We create amazing community events hosted in our parks, from concerts and movies at the park to fun runs and festivals. You do not need to go far or look hard to find something for everyone to experience; the opportunities are endless.

When the sun comes out, the Northwest shines as does our Longview Parks and Recreation staff.

You want to have the best summer? Join us!

Hydrotherapy is a method of treatment that involves the use of water, internally or topically, of varying temperatures and forms, to produce different effects on the body. One form we are most familiar with is placing ice on a sprained ankle. Learn how and when to do treatments with fun and interesting names such as: constitutional hydrotherapy, hot fomentation, warming sock treatment, sitz baths, and contrast foot baths. Plus, you’ll get to practice on your classmates.

Herbal Remedies for Kids

Many safe home remedies for common health concerns that affect children can be made at home, using food or herbs that are either easily accessible from the grocery store, or already in your pantry. Come to this fun and hands on class to learn ways you can positively impact the health of your family. This class is geared towards making remedies for children, but we are all kids at heart, so the material shared is useful to all ages.

Finally, we’ll talk about how to decide if and when it’s time to go to your doctor, an urgent care, or an emergency room.

Take home a tasty goodie!
