See you next summer...
Wow...summer sure flew by, which means the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt has sadly come to an end! 

I spent the last 2 weeks of the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt at Silverwood Golf Course.  It is Saskatoon’s only par-3 course, which is perfect if you’re just learning how to golf.  Congratulations to Jarrett Penner, he was the winner of the final prize, the Spectacular Space package.

Even though the Saskatoon Kids Club has come to the end, you can learn about fall programs & activities through the City of Saskatoon Fall Leisure Guide.    Check it out online  http://www.saskatoon.ca/DEPARTMENTS/Community%20Services/LeisureServices/Pages/LeisureGuide.aspx
 

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful year back at school and I look forward to seeing you again next summer.

Only 2 More weeks!
Tomorrow I head to the last mystery location.  Mystery location #6 was listed in my last post as a great place to go with your family. 

Congratulations to our “Back to School” package winner, Katie Lockinger.    Katie’s name was drawn from everyone who emailed me to say their favourite spot in Saskatoon.    Saskatoon Forestry Park & Zoo, the wave pool at Lawson Civic Centre, the outdoor pools, the waterslide at Lakewood Civic Centre and the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt were included on a few of the emails I received from families this summer!   For more summer ideas check out my post below and see some of my favourites!

My Summer Favourites
Sadly summer is near the end and it will soon be time to head back to school.    I’d love to hear how you spent your summer.   Write to me at saskatoonkidsclub@saskatoon.ca and tell me your favourite place in Saskatoon to visit.  If you email me before August 15 you’ll be entered in a draw to win a special Back-to-school package!

The Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt has made for a wonderful summer!  I enjoyed visiting so many places right here in Saskatoon that I decided to share my Top 10 summer hot spots for you and your parents to try squeeze in this year (or plan for next year)!

1. Play 9 holes of golf a Silverwood.  The Family Special let’s you golf for FREE (must be 14 & under) when you’re accompanied by a minimum of one playing adult.

2. Climb aboard the miniature train or go for a spin on your favourite hand-crafted animal on the old fashioned carousel at Kinsmen Park Rides.  At Kinsmen Park Rides, your parents can ride for FREE! (One adult receives free admission per ride when accompanied by one child with a paid admission.)

3. Enjoy a picnic at Kinsmen Play Village with your family or go for a splash in the supervised paddling pool.

4. Attend Summer Slam.  It is a one-day event held in June a Lions Skate Park.  This event features music, skateboard demonstrations and free food and prizes!

5. Drop-in for free games, music, drama, special events, arts and crafts, water play, and storytelling at the playground program in your neighbourhood.

6. Get hooked on fishing and try to catch a big one at the Forestry Farm Park Fishing Pond!

7. Check out the McDonald’s Natural Place to Play Playground at Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo.   It is an accessible playground that incorporates animal, insect and bird elements.

8. Take advantage of one of the seven FREE Skate boarding sites open from 8:00 am to dusk daily.

9. Check out the 300 + animals that make their home at the zoo.  You’ll see indigenous species such as bison, lynx and wolves living along side exotic reptiles, birds & monkeys. 

10. Enjoy George Ward, Lathey & Riversdale outdoor pools.  Loonie (individual admission) & Toonie (family admission) swimming times are from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, Monday to Thursday.

Don’t forget, there are still 4 more weeks of fun times left with the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt.  I’m at the second last location now...Mystery Location #5.  Some of the special things at the mystery location include: giant inflatable toys including a zoom slide, an iceberg, and a climbing wall, whirl pools & sauna, fitness room, swimming pools & tot pool!  Do you know where I am?  The hours for this mystery location are:  Mon – Fri: 6:00 am-9:00 pm & Sat & Sun 12:00 pm-8:00 pm.

Also, congratulations to Logan Zdunich!  He was the winner of the “Old-Time Favourites” prize package which we made the draw for after I left Kinsmen Park Rides (Mystery Location #4).  Logan will get to enjoy fun “take-you-back-to-the-past” items, including old-fashioned popcorn and ice cream makers, pogo stick, kite, skipping rope, side walk chalk & yoyo.

Let the fun times begin!
The Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger hunt starts today and I am now hanging out at Mystery location #1.  I will be out here until June 29th. 

When you find me you’ll have a chance to enter your name in the draw box located beside me.    I’ll be doing a draw at the end of the 2 weeks for a  Super Sports Package complete with an iPod nano, volleyball/badminton set and more.    This isn't the only prize, I will be giving away 5 more amazing prize packages throughout the summer.

There is no cost to enter to be a part of the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger hunt, but general admission to the facility does apply.

To kick off the Saskatoon Kids Club Scavenger Hunt, I listed clues in the Summer Leisure Mini guide delivered last Sunday with the Saskatoon Sun.  In my first clue I said I’d be at a National Historic Site with my furry friends Dobi, Cooey, Koda and Mistaya.    I think it’s time to give you another clue!! 
 
Clue #2 - Brand new playground equipment opened up at  this mystery location last year.   Animal, insects and birds are featured at this accessible playground. 

Hope to see you soon!
 
Summertime Sam
