School just got out for the summer and you’re already hearing “I’m bored.” Well, you don’t have to go far to keep the boredom at bay! There is plenty to do and see right here in Columbia County. Here are our top 10 activities to keep the kids entertained all summer long:

1. Soak Up.
   Get soaked and cool down this summer at one of the county’s splash pads. You can find them at Evans Towne Center Park, Memorial Gardens Park and a mega splash pad at Gateway Park. After everyone has cooled off, enjoy the large playgrounds at each location.
2. Sprout Up.
   If you are looking for an educational activity and also want to get the kids outdoors, then bring the kids to Reed Creek Park and Interpretive Center. Here you can stroll along the boardwalk while taking in an active wetland environment and visit the interpretive center for educational programs and animals on exhibit.
3. Giddy Up.
   Take your horse obsessed princess or cowboy to Hilltop Riding Stable at Fort Gordon for a horseback adventure and educational session. Hilltop offers something for all ages and beginners to more advanced riders. Hilltop is open to civilians.
