The last day of school can conjure up a very mixed bag of emotional extremes – joy unspeakable; escape from academic “turmoil and oppression”; the opening of the floodgates for the long days of exuberant child play; and a heightened trepidation over how to keep the little ones engaged and mischief-free.

We at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club understand the feelings on both sides of the last day of school before summer vacation. That’s why we introduce to you our school party at Golden Ocala on June 11.

This annual event gives children and parents the time to celebrate the start of summer and the end of the school year. Summer vacation in Florida – aptly and adoringly labeled the Sunshine State – is a time for celebration and for rejoicing.

‘School’s Out For Summer’ Promises Fun and Frolic for Family and Friends

To mark this occasion, we at Golden Ocala present our “School’s Out for Summer,” a Kids Pool Bash & Day of Wellness. The “day of family fun at the pool” gives children and adults an event that promises abundant ice cream, an energetic deejay, a chalk drawing area at the pool, a 20-foot (“woo woo woo”) slide, an obstacle fitness course, a family tug of war, a family aerobics class and wellness service specials. The event is 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Call 352-629-6229 today to make reservations and to win spa services! We will enter each reservation for a drawing. The six drawing winners will get spa service gift certificates. Now we’re talking, but remember, lounge chairs are first come first serve!

While the little ones seek more energetic recreational outlets, drawing winners can experience smooth indulgence at the Golden Ocala Salon and Spa with its relaxation garden and luxuriously appointed treatment rooms.

Here you’ll discover a place of pampering, of rejuvenation, of relaxation and of renewal – in other words, big-people fun. But let’s return to the resort-style pool for “School’s Out for Summer.” Here you’ll experience refreshing fountains and shady areas providing picturesque golf course views. The pool provides areas for shallow lounging and a dedicated children’s area.

We’re talking big fun for the little ones and a relaxing time for moms, dads and other adults. This end of school party at Golden Ocala is one you don’t want to miss.
