“Summer Day Camp Ideas” led the issue with a practical guide for parents planning their children's summer, surveying the local camps and programs that keep kids engaged, active and learning once school lets out.
“Why We Love Our Mothers Year Round” brought warmth for Mother's Day, a heartfelt tribute that extends the holiday's sentiment across the calendar, complemented by a seasonal poem. “A Call to the Great Outdoors” encouraged families to get outside and enjoy the Tennessee spring, celebrating the parks, trails and natural beauty within easy reach of Clarksville. The health pages offered “3 Ways to De-Stress” and explained why baby teeth are so important.
The recurring departments round out a May number built for families heading into summer — the camps, the parks and the tribute to mothers reading like an invitation to make the most of a Tennessee spring while looking after everyone's health along the way.
“Summer Day Camp Ideas” opened on the familiar chorus of the season — sandals and swimsuits, popsicles and sunscreen, and the endlessly repeated “Mom, what are we going to do today?” To keep school-aged kids active and engaged and to ward off that question, the feature surveyed the day camps offered by local businesses, organizations and churches, along with the City of Clarksville's own wide array of day programs, whether a family needed childcare for a week or a single day.
