Fly fishing, kayaking and a craft show are just some of the activities open to the public this year in Bridgeland, a northwest Houston community voted Master-Planned Community of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders.
Outdoor enthusiasts can register for beginner fly-fishing and kayaking classes, with all necessary equipment provided. Fly fishing will be April 11, while the those wanting to learn to kayak can select from an April 24 or May 22 class.
Plus, the public is invited to a benefit craft show and silent auction 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 5 at the community’s Lakeland Activity Center. Held in remembrance of Alessandra Lopez, proceeds from the event will go to pediatric melanoma research at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Alessandra, age 2, lost her battle with metastatic melanoma last year.
On tap this summer is a series of day camps designed especially for young chefs. Camp Cook will be held for children ages 3 through fifth grade at Bridgeland’s Lakeland Activity Center, 16902 Bridgeland Landing, in five sessions: June 1-4, June 14-18, July 6-9, July 19-23 and Aug. 2-6. Plus, two triathlons are scheduled for August, as is a fun run for the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation Aug. 28. Bridgeland will host large-scale annual events later in the year, Nature Fest, set for Sept. 25, and Howl-O-Ween Fest, Oct. 30.
“These events showcase our natural and planned amenities and are just a sampling of what Bridgeland residents enjoy,” said Peter C. Houghton, Bridgeland’s vice president of master-planned communities.
Bridgeland residents have plenty of opportunities to stay busy and meet neighbors, with more than 60 activities scheduled monthly ranging from fitness classes to tennis lessons to dance classes for kids. Plus, monthly group meetings cater to specific interests, such as books, crafts, gardening and even a poker night for men.
