Come Play at Lake Sammamish State Park-Celebrating Women and Girls in Sports Day
Written by Sarah Polster Tribble, FLSSP Operations Manager
February 7th is the 38th annual National Women and Girls in Sports Day; a day to honor and acknowledge the accomplishments of girls and women in sports in the past and to inspire girls and women to play and be active in the future.
Participation in sport at any level and at any age can build confidence, foster friendships, and hone leadership skills. Many skills developed on a sports field translate well into empowering women and girls off the field as well.
To honor National Women and Girls in Sports Day, FLSSP would like to highlight sporting opportunities for women and girls that can be found in and around Lake Sammamish State Park:
Kayak Academy: Courses that allow beginners to soon become better paddlers than most kayakers with years of experience. No other courses compare. Learn more here: Kayak Academy
