The summer season is the hottest season of the year. Not only of the rising temperature. But of the things that we can only do during summer. Summertime means enjoying the great outdoors and getting active. Our summer may be of a different start because of the pandemic. But if we follow the facilities guidelines and protocols for our safety, we can still have a fun summer season.
