Park teams up with school district for summer recreation programs Events for summertime fun added as COVID-19 rules loosen Boardman Park and Recreation District is joining forces with Morrow County School District to provide their popu-
lar summer recreation programs to all youth in the Boardman and Irrigon areas. The School District had been providing lunches to the Boardman participants in prior
years, and asked if the Park would include Irrigon kids if the School District paid for their costs. The Park was very enthusiastic about including the Irrigon kids. Funtastic Kidz is the program for youth ages 5 to 12, and the program runs 8:30 am to 11:30 am June 21st through July 22nd. Summer Teen Program is for youth ages 12 to 17. The program runs 1:15 pm to 4:00 pm June 21st to July 22nd. Both programs are free of charge, and include free bus-
sing and free lunches for all children. Bus schedules and stops information will be provided soon. Pre-registration is
required for the programs. The Park asks that each participant fill out their online interest form on their website: h t t p s : / / boardmanparkandrec.com/ funtastic-kidz/ The Recreation and Pool continue to ramp up their classes offered to the public as our COVID-19 rules allow.

They engage your children with fun craft projects and physical activities that they can get the socialization and interaction they are craving. A pool day has been added on Thursdays for this program, which will run until school is out for the summer.
On June 8th the Cascaders with their GMC vintage motorhomes will be arriving at the Boardman Marina & RV Park. These beauties were made between 1973 and stopped production in 1978. The GMC Motorhome was built with front wheel drive and a 455 Olds engine. Air bag suspension rounds off the luxury of these RVs. The Cascaders will be leaving Boardman on June 10, so if you are interested in vintage vehicles, drive by the Boardman Marina and RV Park. You won’t miss them, they come in all colors with interior to match! (On a personal note, Co-Editor Lynn Prag spotted the Cascaders rallied at the Port of Newport RV Park last month.
