Summer break starts NOW, and the area is bursting with fun activities! We’re here to kick off your summer right, whether you’re looking to break a sweat with friends, enjoy cold beverages, or groove to live music. We’ve got all the connections you need to make this summer unforgettable.
Break a Sweat
With longer days and warmer weather, there are endless opportunities to get moving and stay fit. Whether you’re hitting the trails for a scenic hike, joining a local gym, or taking your yoga practice outdoors (hint, hint), summer offers a vibrant backdrop for all your fitness activities. So lace up your sneakers, grab your water bottle, and let’s make this summer the most active one yet!
- Join the Chamber’s EmpowHER Women’s Network for a Women, Wellness, & Wine summer event at the Wayzata Depot! We’re thrilled to bring you a unique blend of yoga, wellness, and networking by the beautiful Wayzata Bay and the new Wayzata Lake Walk. Get ready to be energized by two of our Chamber Member Businesses! YogaSix will lead a 30-minute session of low-impact, empowering, and fun yoga. Following that, MVMT Lab will offer a 20-minute dynamic workout focusing on mobility, resistance, and strength through functional movements.
- Experience a fun blend of movements at Rêve Studios on Lake Street, Wayzata! During your 50-minute session, you’ll seamlessly transition between the treadmill and the reformer, ensuring a comprehensive workout that fits perfectly into your busy schedule. Get in, get out, and get back to your day feeling accomplished.

Sip With Friends
It’s time to relax and enjoy cold beverages with friends. As the temperature rises, there’s nothing quite like the refreshing taste of an ice-cold drink shared in good company. Whether you’re savoring a crisp, local brew, indulging in a fruity cocktail, or enjoying a chilled lemonade, we’ve got you covered.
- Partake in some summer fun networking at Libations by the Lake! The first one for the summer is Thursday, June 17 at Birch’s on the Lake Brewhouse. The second gathering is on Thursday, August 22 at Lord Fletchers Wharf. This is a great opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones.
