CASCADE INDOOR SPORTSCASCADE INDOOR SPORTSCascade Indoor Sports is one of the premier indoor sports facilities in the Northwest. The buildings are almost 50,000 square feet of fun! We have sports programs for youths and adults that emphasize our commitment to a safe, healthy, wholesome and afford-able family fun experience.

BIG PLAY THINGCascade Indoor Sports is thrilled to have Central Oregon’s newest and largest indoor play structure, with more than 3,000 square feet of climbing! Kids will love our new “Macaroni” and “Chili Pepper” slides, as well as foam forests, tubes, tunnels, web crawls and elevators, Tarzan bridge, a soft gaunt-let, half moon roll climb, bridges and more! The Big Play Thing is designed for children 4 and older (children un-

der 4 are welcome to play, but parents need to be available for assistance).We guarantee the fun!

ROLLER HOCKEYRoller Hockey is growing again. It’s not ice, but it is hockey. Roller hockey is

similar to ice hockey but is played on inline skates. If your child can skate, then he/she can play hockey. Many new players have been joining the league, and it has been growing steadily. Both youth and adult leagues will be start-ing in June; practices and games will be during weekday evenings. If your kids like sports and skating, hockey is something they must try.

ROLLER SKATINGIf you love to skate or have kids that love to skate, there are at least five open skate times every week. Friday night is a middle school mania with several hundred kids enjoying the new lights and sound system. We still hear people say, “We didn’t even know Bend had a skating rink.” Well, we do, and it is a great rink. For the past three

years, Cascade Indoor Sports has been creating a skating culture. Our youth and adult hockey leagues are growing, as is the Lava City Roller Dolls adult and junior derby leagues. We have hundreds of pairs of traditional quads and inline rental skates.

SUMMER CAMPS & CLINICSSummer camps and clinics are being expanded. Parents know how important quality summer programs are for their kids, and Cascade Indoor Sports has camps all summer long to get your kids off the couch and into the game. Soccer, flag football, ultimate Frisbee, capture the flag, floor hockey, basketball, scoot-er games, kickball, tag, roller skating, dodgeball, and anything else kids could think of ... we do it at sports camp.

SOCCER TOTSCascade Indoor Sports offers uniquely tailored sports classes for children as young as 18 months old. Our Soccer Tots program is a nationally acclaimed program that teaches and motivates kids to be active and to work with their peers. Soccer Tots is a motor-skill development program for kids ages 18 months to 6 years old. It is designed to use a series of fun games that encourage kids to de-velop motor skills and physical fit-ness. It is proven that kids will par-ticipate with more confidence and gusto if the objective is pure fun. The program has received rave re-views from parents and coaches all over the country.

DANCE STUDIOWe now offer DANCE! We have a brand new 600-square-foot dance

studio where we offer intro to ballet, hip hop, Irish Dance, Zumba, happy movements for our little dancers, and more.

With the growing demand for kids to get fit, Cascade Indoor Sports sup-ports parents in making it fun. Kids, and their parents are more willing to

exercise if it is fun and their friends are doing it. With a climate con-trolled environment, Cascade In-door Sports is the perfect place to participate in safe, healthy, whole-some, affordable family fun. You can check us out online at www.cascadeindoorsports.com, or you can stop by with the family and check out the facility, get informa-tion on some of the programs and meet the staff, members of which would be thrilled to show you around.

COPA

STAY SMART IN THE SUNSubmitted by Central Oregon Pediatric Associates

The sun is vital to our physical health and mental well-being, and living in Central Oregon offers an abundance of ways to enjoy our time outdoors. Yet, we must understand and respect how the heat and harmful UV rays can easily cause life-threatening condi-tions from overexposure today or lead to skin disease in the future. Being at higher elevation, we are at increased risk.

TOP TIP: Pack plenty of loose-fitting, quick-dry clothing for kids to change and bring more water than you think you’ll need.

PREVENTION OF SUNBURN• Avoid exposure by providing regular shade, particularly to infants, during peak intensity, approximately 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Dress infants in loose-fitting long pants and long-sleeve clothing with brimmed hats that extend over the face and neck.

• It’s best for all kids to stay lightly cov-ered while playing in the sand, dirt and water with clothing that can be quickly dried or changed to prevent a chill. Better dirty than burned.

• Apply sunscreen with at least 15 SPF to the face and back of hands, feet and all exposed areas.

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours if swimming or sweating.

• Use extra caution around water as it will reflect UV rays and cause extra in-tensity under the hats into the eyes.

• Central Oregon may feel cool, but its sun’s rays are sizzling hot. You can still get burned on an overcast day from harmful rays seeping through those clouds.

• Be meticulous about preventing sun-burn. Don’t wait until the skin looks pink in the sun.

PREVENTION OF HEAT-STROKE• Drink plenty of water at least every 30 minutes of playing in the sun. Don’t let playing in the water substitute for drinking fresh water.

• Call for a timeout every hour of play for some rest and cooling off in the shade.

• Take care not to stand in direct sun for extended periods, wear light

clothing and a hat with mesh allowing for ventilation.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD IS SUNBURNED OR FEELS ILL WHEN OUTDOORS?If you see red, warm skin, treat with cool compresses or bathe in barely cool (not cold) water and take acet-aminophen to help relieve the pain.

Serious sunburn will present with skin blisters. Heat exhaustion may be pres-ent when the child has a hot dry skin, a fever, dizziness or headache. If any of these symptoms occur, call your pe-diatrician or go to the nearest medical facility. This condition in a child could lead to dehydration, infection, heat-stroke and even hospitalization.

ARTS CENTRALARTS CENTRALThe Nature of Art

Longer days are here, days of vaca-tion with the outdoors beckoning. It’s a perfect time of year to explore the world in a new way, and the Art Station can show you how. The Art Station has many opportunities for adults and children to awaken their senses through art classes. Regard-less of your experience level or your favorite medium, there’s a class for every member of your family.

Classes at the Art Station provide a unique outlet for kids out of school for the summer and provide a creative opportunity, a place to explore perspective and feel the

joy of accomplishment. Art Station classes are both educational and recreational. Allow your kids the freedom to create, and the Art Sta-

tion will clean up the mess!

“In art, there are no right or wrong answers, and every child can be successful,” says Tracy Alexander, Art Station Manager. “It’s a nice break from academics to allow kids the freedom to create and explore different ways of looking at objects and the world.”

While you’re enjoying summer, don’t forget that art can happen indoors as well as out.

When your family is out in the great outdoors, on the high desert or on the road, keep your eyes open for the artistry of nature. You may find that sculptures are created in nature: the sea carves sand, water whittles stones in the river, wind can shape trees and dunes, rivers carve the earth. Sometimes, you’ll also see places where other people have created art in the wild, leav-ing stacks of rocks and marks in the sand.

Make the trail, the beach or the riverbank your own place to create a temporary art show. Remember, some objects you find are homes to small creatures so be thoughtful when moving them. As you’re hik-

ing along, stop to observe natural materials, looking for unusual col-ors, patterns, textures, and shapes. Some terrific materials include rocks, pinecones, sticks, pebbles, bark, different colored soils or drift wood. You can mix them, stack them, line them up, put them in patterns- your imagination and your materials have almost no limit! Plan a sculpture that will not dam-age the environment around you.

Talk to your kids about what they’ve built. How does your cre-ation represent the place you are in? What does your sculpture say to others? Is Nature an important part of “art”? Once you’ve cre-ated something, you can choose to disassemble your exhibit or de-termine a time you will come back and see what has happened to it. Your piece will be temporary, so you may want to take a photo to document it.

Art can open your eyes and create a new lens through which to view the world.

“I find that people who approach the world from an artistic angle see details about how things are put to-gether and how they work that oth-ers miss,” says Gary Chandler, a re-tired architect and president of the Arts Central Board. “People with a background in art come up with out-of-the-box, interesting solutions to common problems. This arts-based approach is applicable across a wide range of non-art professions and serves them well throughout their professional lives.”

MAKE THE ART STATION A STOP ON YOUR SUMMER SCHEDULE


Morning Star Christian School Sum-mer Camp programs will provide your children with a safe place to engage their imaginations! Our pro-grams inspire the minds and stimu-late the muscles through a dynamic combination of academic review, ac-tive field trips, and relevant crafts and games. Our goal is to provide a Sum-mer Camp experience that exceeds the expectations of both the child and the parent.

One child’s mom said her son would talk about the fun times he had all the way home. He would sleep soundly and was excited about coming back the next day.

“The kids enjoyed trying to antici-pate what adventure they would do next.”

Our experienced teachers are quali-fied and prepared to meet the needs of the children and parents. They empathetically create an accepting and welcoming environment where all kids are respected and valued as

individuals.

Field trips are an important part of MSCS Summer Camp fun. We try to take advantage of every opportunity Central Oregon has to offer: caving, hiking, horseback riding, swimming,

visiting museums, art galleries, music studios, observatories, fish hatcheries and many other exciting adventures.

Throughout the summer, it’s impor-tant to us that children retain what they have learned during the school year. We provide an hour a day of grade level academic review.

MSCS Summer Camp is an 11-week program that starts from 7:30 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m. We have a pri-vate 11-acre campus with a gym, fire pit, soccer field and age-appropriate play equipment. We have planned our best summer camp yet.

We create a welcoming camp envi-ronment that fosters lasting friend-ships and lifelong memories.

TUMALO CREEK TUMALO CREEK KAYAK & CANOEKAYAK & CANOE

Kids have a lot of distractions: video games, TV, the Internet. Why not get them away from all of that this sum-mer? Sign your children up for any one of Tumalo Creek’s SUP, Flatwater, Whitewater and/or Adventure Camps and you’ll give them the opportunity to deepen their appreciation of the outdoors, while learning new skills they will carry with them for a lifetime.

Tumalo Creek offers camps for kids ages 8 - 16 throughout the summer that run from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday - Thursday, and all gear is included. Kids should bring their own lunch and healthy snacks, as well as a change of clothes for after we get off the river.

Most of our instructors are public school teachers during the year, and

have a number of certifications rang-ing from CPR, whitewater rescue, and American Canoe Association training.

“Our camps have really exploded in popularity in the last few years, and we’ve expanded our offerings beyond whitewater camps, to teaching kids ev-erything from stand up paddleboard-ing to kayak sailing on Elk Lake,” said Geoff Frank, owner and operator of Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe. “Part of the reason for this growth is that par-ents in Bend understand the value in getting kids outdoors at a young age, which helps them to develop the skills and confidence they need to enjoy all that Central Oregon has to offer.”

The following is a list of our kids camps for 2013 along with descriptions:

KIDS STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING CAMPJuly 8 – 11, August 5 – 8

Cowabunga! Grab a board and get ready to make some waves while ex-ploring some of the most beautiful scenery in Central Oregon. You’re kids will have so much fun, you’ll wish you could come along for the ride.

The whitewater park will be here in just a few summers. Get your kids ready to enjoy it! This popular camp is a gentle introduction to the sport with an em-phasis on fun and safety. We’ll spend the whole first day at Elk Lake getting comfortable in our boats and practic-ing bracing, self-rescues and rolling. The group may then be split accord-ing to ability with some kids moving on to paddle the rapids, and others spending some more time in flatwater, playing water games to help improve their skills.

KIDS YAK-A-TAK FLATWATER KAYAK CAMPJuly 22 – 25

Your kids will love exploring the Cas-cade Lakes by kayak! We’ll start out slow and progress through the basics. Our expert staff of instructors will in-corporate kayak games and some land-based activities to keep kids in-terested and interacting. By the end of the four days, kids should have a basic knowledge of paddle strokes, bracing and working with currents.

BEND MEMORIAL CLINIC PEDIATRICS Summer is enjoyable for adults and kids alike, but with summer come increased hazards. Whether your kids are at home, at summer camp, or if you’re going on a family vacation, it’s important to keep them safe and healthy. We’ve all probably heard these tips before, but now is a great time to keep them top of mind to ensure you and your kids get the most out of summertime.

FUN IN THE SUNWe all know that summertime in central Oregon brings lots of sunshine

and warm weather, so while the kids are outside playing be sure they are protected with sunscreen. Look for one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, as well as one that protects against UVA and UVB rays. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids limit sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If kids must be outside during this time, be sure to include sunglasses and hats when possible and reapply sunscreen frequently.

FUN IN THE WATERA summertime favorite for kids is playing in the water. Be sure your child

knows how to swim and water safety. Always have an adult in charge and actively watching. It’s also important to wear life jackets on boats and when swimming or playing in or near bodies of water.

FUN ON THE ROADS AND TRAILSHelmets provide the best protection against injury. Whether your child is riding a bike, scooter or skateboard, it’s imperative that they wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet prevents nearly 85 percent of head injures from crashes.

FLUIDS AND STAYING HYDRATEDAdequate fluid intake is important anytime, but especially when your kids are playing outside in the hot summer sun. It’s also important to set time limits for playing outside and especially during sports activities. Take time to have them stop what they are doing, rest and rehydrate.

Pediatricians recommend that children get at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity every day. Summertime is a great way to get active with your kids and enjoy a walk or a skip, swimming, horseback riding or hitting the local park.
