LAKE COUNTY – Lake Family Resource Center has announced a new summer activity group called “D.A.Ds.” – Dedicated Active Dads – and is accepting applications for the 2008 summer season.

The group is open to dads (or males who are significant in the lives of a child) and their children. D.A.Ds. will meet twice a month starting June through September 2008. There is no fee to join the group.

Activities will include fishing, camping, attending baseball games, barbecues and much more.

The first activity will be the “D.A.Ds.” games and barbecue at the County Park in Kelseyville. The first gathering will be on June 14, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

D.A.Ds. will help parents connect with their children as they share experiences together. The three main goals are:

• Play with your kids at playgrounds, recreation centers and field trips. It gets you out of the house, together with other D.A.Ds., and the kids really look forward to time with their friends and the important work they do at play.

• Learn. We strive to share real-life resources and educational opportunities to help us in our role as parents. And the best real-life resource is the connection and shared experiences of other D.A.Ds.

• Connect. The kids aren’t the only ones who connect! Getting to know and “playing” with other dads at playgrounds, Dad’s Night Out, Dad’s Breakfast, house project co-ops and other D.A.Ds. functions opens an often unexpected door to fun, camaraderie and friendships.

Call today to register for the D.A.Ds. program, space is limited.
