New Family Membership Plan


In today’s economy, families are watching every penny. That doesn’t mean family fun has to end! CHOA is now offering a family membership plan. That means one membership fee covers the entire family: mom, dad, and all children.

While there are other summer camp, programs, and venues for kids, they are costly for families on budget. We are committed to providing diverse outdoor activities to families that are on budget. With one low membership fee, families can take advantage of the many free outdoor and sporting activities that CHOA has to offer.

Through CHOA activities, parents can participate with their kids and spend their family time together. CHOA events also provide a good environment when kids can interact with other kids their age.Many kids at CHOA events enjoy getting to know other kids outside of their school, daycare, of camp.

The summer is here, and you're already running low on fun ideas to keep your children entertained.  Think of CHOA. Practically every super activity that your kids can imagine is here in CHOA land. From kayaking, water hole swimming, camping, hiking, biking, nature viewing, soccer, skateboarding, running, rock climbing to family cookout - we have it all, in every possible place.  What better way to enjoy time with your children than with healthy physical activities.  This will encourage lifelong patterns of exercise and physical activity. Your children will also develop a long term love of the outdoors.

Until we have a new system in place where parents can add their children to CHOA membership database; members can sign up for an event and add their children for all appropriate events. We will soon have many new family friendly events.

So join us in creating the buzz about this exciting new aspect of CHOA.  Tell your friends, family and coworkers about this and gets your kids off the couch and away from their video games. See you and your family outside
