June is a big month for Chattanooga.
School is out, pools are open, summer sports leagues are starting, parks are being used all over, and more folks are traveling to water for sports, fishing, and our Outdoor Chattanooga classes.
In June we celebrate Great Outdoors Month, Father's Day, Pride Month, National Fishing Day, International Picnic Day, National Trails Day...and the list goes on. While there is so much to do in June, we still often hear that there is nothing to do, or nothing for our youth, however there very much is.
