Junaluska WeeklyJune 26, 2020

Explore the beauty that Lake Junaluska has to offer by canoe, kayak or paddleboard. Rent one at the Recreation Hut today.

The Summer Activities Program kicks off July 2Friends, family and fun in the sun. Lake Junaluska’s Summer Activities Program is sure to bring all three together.

The Fourth of July weekend kicks off this year’s Summer Activities Program. Through charitable giving, the four-year-old program is a catalyst to help residents and visitors alike find commu-nity and make memories.

This year, the program is taking the Fourth of July celebrations to a whole new level. From races to clogging lessons; yoga to movie nights and so much more, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Want to experience the beauty of Lake Junaluska from the water, but not sure how to? Take advantage of the canoe and paddleboard lessons on Thursday, July 2. The cost for lessons is $5 with-out a rental and $15 with one. Contact Wilson Booth, director of youth ministry at wbooth@lakejunaluska.com.

Put those canoe paddling skills to the test on Friday, July 3, and sign up for the Swamped Canoe Race. Wilson Booth, director of youth ministry, describes the event as “a wet and wacky canoe race. If you can paddle a canoe above water, find out if you can canoe below water.”

Register for this race online.

After a morning full of festivities, make sure to stop by the tent beside Stuart Auditorium for the Ice Cream Social. For $2 per person, choose your favorite ice cream and make some new friends.

Lake Junaluska will be hosting a Porch Decorating contest and a Kayak, Canoe, Paddleboard Flotilla Decorating contest for all residents. Judging will begin at 11 a.m. Make sure to register for both online.

The night of July 4, make sure to look out onto Lake Junaluska to see an en-chanting display of illuminating lanterns floating on the water. These lanterns will serve as a symbol of hope and faith to all.

The Summer Activities Program will not end on the Fourth of July. Events will continue through Friday, July 31, and will continue to align with COVID-19 safety guidelines. Activities will be online or designed for groups of limited size that will meet outside and in places that allow for social distancing.

Take time to stretch and relax this summer with weekly yoga lessons. Every lesson is taught by an

instructor from Waynesville Yoga for $7.50 and provides a serene, beautiful backdrop of Lake

Junaluska. It is time to unroll the mats, breathe a little deeper and find inner peace and renewal.
