Youth from across the metro area will participate in the City of Lakes Community Summer Games!

Saturday, August 7th, is Golf Day at the Games!

We are changing up the pay-for-play model and giving youth and families a opportunity to come back on Saturday to engage in One Hour of Service in the Community. Each Saturday will provide a different volunteer opportunity, from 10a-11a, meeting at North Commons. Families are encouraged to join!

The Games open Sunday July 18th and will run through Saturday August 7th to promote peace, progress, service, and sportsmanship at North Commons Park, North Community YMCA, and local facilities.

The Games will feature fun activities such as Free Play led by Playworks, mascot Mondays, women in sports on Wednesdays, and Family Fit Camp on Saturday mornings. Events will include: basketball, baseball, softball, football futsal, tennis, volleyball, team handball, golf, swimming, chess, e-sports, lacrosse, mountain biking, orientation running, and ultimate disc.

Each participant will receive a summer games t-shirt, meal and a snack each day, and support from student leader and coaches.
