Winona Health is grateful for the use of space at the Winona Middle School and for all community partners that participated.

Spring Event – Step into Summer Family Fun Walk

Step into Summer is a casual and non-competitive walk with some fun along the way for children 6-11 and their family members. Walkers start at the bike path near Lake Winona Manor, walk to the Jaycee Pavilion for a healthy snack, then walk back to the Winona Health campus. (Total walking distance is almost 2 miles). For all children who register and finish, the event ends with tickets to use for inflatables located on the Winona Health campus. Project Get Outdoors, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have provided fun, hands-on outdoor activities where kids can practice fishing, sit in a canoe and tent, and use binoculars.
