Great Free & Almost Free Summer Activities for Vancouver/Portland Area

Our June Relief Society Activity was filled with many ideas for a fun filled summer for adults and kids alike.  My family took one of the suggested hikes on Saturday and we will be talking about it for years to come. It was Fantastic!  Thanks Bev George for the suggestion. The links below are all the info we passed out that night and the following Sunday.  I had limited copies so I know all the sisters did not get them.  There are lots of activities for children and adults.  So please look through even if you do not have children! Have a great summer.  Charity Ashworth
