Letter From the Lifestyle Team
JAMES INGRAM & TONIANNE GIANAKOUROS YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGERS
Summer Relaxation is Here!
Summer is here, and with it comes an exciting season filled with programs, events, and opportunities to connect, play, and unwind.
We’re thrilled to offer a variety of summer camps for kids of all interests, including a Drama Camp, Rugby Camp, and Circus Camp as well as a multitude of sports clinics and Skye Kids Programs.
For our adult Members, we’re excited to announce a special “Night in Tuscany” —a flavorful evening of elegance and indulgence. Guests will enjoy five curated wines expertly paired with five delicious appetizers, inspired by the flavors of the Italian countryside. It promises to be a relaxed and memorable evening under the stars on July 8.
In addition, we’re launching a new Monthly Date Night Series just for adults! Each month will bring a new theme—think wine tastings, live music, craft classes, or even game nights—offering you a chance to unwind and connect in style.
From family-friendly summer programs to grown-up getaways, this summer has something for everyone. We look forward to seeing you around The Hub!
& ToniAnne

More than a Movie EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA
What a “splash-tastic” time we had at our Easter Eggstravaganza! Kids dove into fun with our egg hunt in the pool, while fuzzy friends from the farm melted hearts all around. From sweet chocolates to exciting prizes, every moment was “egg-ceptional!” Thanks to everyone who hopped by to celebrate with us!
Skye Kids Magical Day AT MAGIC KINGDOM
Skye Ranch takes on Magic Kingdom. The crew from Skye Ranch saddled up for a magical day at the Most Magical Place on Earth — Magic Kingdom! From thrilling rides to tasty bites, the adventure was non-stop. It was a day full of joy, memories, and just a little pixie dust!
Khristina Atkins
The Members of our community are truly what make this a wonderful place to live. In each edition, we will spotlight a Member, couple or family to showcase the amazing people that call our community home. If you would like to be featured or want to nominate another Member, please contact your Lifestyle Manager.
My name is Khristina (or Nina for short) and I recently married my husband, Jake, who is currently stationed in Japan in the Army. We have four beautiful children all together. I have lived in Florida for 12 years, originally from Massachusetts, and have been a part of Skye Ranch for almost three years now.
I love the warm, welcoming family environment here at Skye Ranch! Being a small local business owner myself, I started the Skye Market to not only bring the community together, but to also support fellow small local businesses. Hosting the markets has been such a rewarding experience!
During my spare time, I am busy with my permanent jewelry business, hanging with the kids, and sports! We also love taking a day trip to Siesta Key or our favorite spot, Livingstons, for a family fun game night! I’m so lucky to call Skye Ranch and Florida my home! I love everything this community has to offer, and I love being a part of it!

National Wildlife Federation teams up with LG Electronics (LG) for an ongoing campaign to highlight vulnerable and endangered species, such as the West Indian Manatee (including its two subspecies the Florida and Antillean Manatees). Currently, the biggest threats to manatees are boat collisions and loss of their primary habitat—warm water coastal ecosystems that provide seagrass beds. Additionally, entanglement in fishing gear and toxic algal blooms are also impacting manatee populations. Test your knowledge and learn fun facts about the beloved “Mermaid of the Sea.” To learn more, visit blog.nwf. org/2025/04/manatees-the-mermaids-of-the-sea
