Eugene Family Scoop - Weekday Edition (June 29- July 2 , 2026)

Hi Friends! 👋

As much as I want you to make memories with your loved ones, I also want you to take care of yourself. If that means skipping the super rad events so you can catch up on cleaning, care for your body, or just take some time to think things through — that's okay! We can get so go-go-go that we forget to fill our own cups, and then those "fun" events aren't so fun after all because we're running on empty. Put on your metaphorical air mask first. Take care of yourself, and you'll be much more likely to enjoy the good times — and have love left in your cup to pour onto the ones you love.

Just one highlight to spotlight this week, but there's plenty more happening below!

🛼 ECJD Skate Camp 12:00–5:00pm • Ages 12-17 • $20
