Have you noticed our makeover? Just in time to kick off the summer season! Need help figuring out what to do with your kids this summer? Take a look at our programs offered for children. Are you looking for some good old-fashioned fun? Check out our story on the Fort Campbell swimming pools. I am a caffeine addict and my favorite place to get my fix is the Fresh, Food, Fast food cart located in the Soldier Support Center. My personal favorite beverages are a dry cappuccino with an extra shot of espresso and a shot of vanilla or a dirty chai tea latte. Don’t understand coffee lingo? We have included a helpful chart to help you order the perfect drink for you. MWR will have a lot of stuff to do this summer, so please keep in touch through social media and ENews! Stay cool!

I love swimming laps and during the summer and nicer weather what's better than working out outdoors and getting some fresh air. Seeing the warm air rising off the pool on a cool summer morning with a beautiful orange sunrise is a great way to start your day stress free and get a low impact great workout. Its also great to stop by and get some color while you workout during the midafternoon or evening, get a little work on your tan and beach body at the same time. You can't go wrong with it.
