The summer isn’t over yet! There is still time to schedule any classes your child hasn’t tried out yet, still frienships to be made, new skills to learn…summer adventures await! If you’re just joining us this week, we are so excited to see you! Don’t forget we have free swim twice a day, check out the KBIA store, join our family bonfire night on Wednesday, and either participate in or cheer on the annual Reid Sacco Family Regatta this Saturday. Let’s make the most of the last two weeks of summer at KBIA!

KBIA Swim Meet
This Friday!
 On Friday, August 10th, KBIA is hosting a swim meet from 6 to 8 PM at the KBIA pool. Only the KBIA swim team will be competing and we will be dividing ourselves into four teams. If your child has participated in swim team at any point this summer, they are eligible to participate in the swim meet. If your child has not participated in swim team but would still like to participate in the meet, you must ask Anu’s permission and your child must prove they can swim one full length of the pool.
Please see Anu at the pool before Friday to let her know if you would like your child to participate in the swim meet and what events they are comfortable swimming. Your child may also speak with Anu on their own. We also love spectators, so come cheer on your friends!!

Extend the gift of “summer”
KBIA is truely a unique experience, offering children the opportunity to pick and choose classes, tailoring to their specific interests. We are proud to run such an extensive variety of programs year after year – from surfing, sailing, kayaking, to reading, drama, pottery, to swim team, golfing, tennis, woodworking…and so much more…there is something for everyone. We owe these fantastic summers at KBIA to the generosity of members and donors.
Please help us keep the spirit of summer alive for children who are unable to attend KBIA without assistance. For every $500 donated to the KBIA scholarship fund, we are able to invite a child to attend KBIA for a four week scholarship! The impact of a summer spent swimming, sailing, and just “being a kid” has a lasting impression. All donations — large, small and/or online are greatly appreciated.
