We appreciate what the Kinsmen Club of Windermere Valley does for the Invermere community and for Canada.
The Kinsmen Beach offers: sand that would rival any 5 star resort near the ocean, a nice university student lady who is very customer-service focused in the snack bar (she is a great employee- keep her!!), happy children and parents playing on the beach and water, and the opportunity to relax in a “come as you can, and go when you want” situation. We all need that.
The Kinsmen Beach of Windermere has given us that. Thanks, and you will be in our thoughts and plans of giving :).
