With the arrival of summer, Avalon is the ideal place for longer vacations. When the weather is sweltering in the cities and flat lands, pleasant mountain breezes keep the weather near perfect at Avalon. The solar enclosure of the Aquatics Health and Fitness Center opens to provide a second outdoor pool. In summer our excellent massage therapists move outside with the birds and the breezes to provide massage and pampering in open air, screened areas. The poolside snack bar is open every day to provide lunch, snacks, and your favorite beverages. Tennis, volleyball, and pétanque courts, horseshoe pits, fishing pond, exercise trail and the campground provide many opportunities for outdoor activities. Air conditioned rooms make your accommodations comfortable even on those few days during the summer when the breezes die and the sun gets hot. Plan early for your summer vacation, and plan to be at Avalon. You may rent a condo or a campsite for a week's vacation where you have the option of preparing some of your own meals or stay in the lodge and be pampered.

Some of the things to do are:

• Run around naked on the front lawn
• Walk the hiking trail looking at the wildflowers
• Skinny dip in the outdoor pool
• Play Pétanque or horseshoes
• Sit in the sun and do absolutely nothing
• Catch a volleyball game
• Have a root beer float
• Watch the Fourth of July fireworks
• Get a message outside
• Go Fishing, Naked!
• Kick up your feet and go dancing
• Be a kid again
