Have you ever considered taking your kids on a boat ride around Lake Champlain but worried they'd get bored? This upcoming Kids Cruise — hosted by GymKids Academy, Inc. and the Spirit of Ethan Allen III — might be just what you're looking for.

At 10 a.m. on August 2, the Spirit of Ethan Allen III disembarks from Burlington's waterfront for an hour and a half spin around the lake. For $10 each ($1.75 for kids under 3), passengers of all ages can participate in creative activities like t-shirt and cookie decorating, scarf juggling and yoga. Performances from Joey the Clown, Footworks Studio of Dance and the Contois School of Music band and a circus workshop with GymKids Academy add to the floating fun.  

There's also a raffle benefiting KidSafe Collaborative featuring items from local businesses including Davis Studio, ECHO and Pizza Putt. Ticket holders receive a $10 gift card to Kids City just for attending. Food can be purchased for an additional cost.
