 WELCOME!
Fall is my favorite time of year. The
temperatures begin to drop, kids
head back to school, and our natural
environment begins to change colors.
Please join me in celebrating this
wonderful time of year by participating
in one of the many programs or events
listed in this guide.
The Fall Break Camp at Catalina State
Park is one of the most coveted camps
in the region. Kids hike, make forts, and
build their own archery equipment.
Our Second Saturdays @ Steam Pump
Ranch ramp up with live music, artisans
and special programming for all ages.
In October, the Monster Mash 5K and
Halloween Spooktacular are back by
popular demand. We have free concerts
all season long, capped off by our
Holiday Tree Lighting Spectacular (see
back cover) and the annual Hot Cocoa
5K on New Year s Day, with a special new
treat you wont want to miss.
Enjoy browsing through our Fall 2017
Program Guide, and Ill see you in the parks!
