LAKE HAVASU CITY – A variety of activities for children were shared yesterday at the Kids on the Colorado River’s very first community day!

The nonprofit’s event took place on Sunday, May 5 at the Aquatic Center. Kids on the Colorado River was developed to provide education about river recreation in the surrounding areas of Lake Havasu, along with ecology, Indian reservations, wildlife, and many more amazing facts for children to learn about. Their program also gives youths an opportunity to learn about first response safety and interactive education.

The organization prides themselves on making the children community stewards, as they learn about how to maintain and protect the town’s local resources of the river. Their community event was an exciting occasion that was free to public with lunch included and raffle drawings.

Some of the vendors in attendance were Southwest Outfitters, Sea Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the Aquatic Center’s ongoing after school program. The event was an awesome start for connecting families in Lake Havasu and informing the community of the unlimited access parents have for fun activities for children to enjoy this summer, as well as throughout the school year.
