Many of our kids’ birthday parties and sports windups will be taking place within the next month or so before summer starts and all their friends go separate ways.

This means you’re facing a double cohort of not only May and June birthdays, but July and August as well as parents do their damndest to get their child the best party they can.

So as you try to plan your child’s party, you might start looking to alternatives from the traditional cake-and-ice cream home party, and one of the best things you can do as a parent is provide your child with a great seasonal party, which means an outdoor activity, and usually will include some pool fun.

There’s only one problem though – an outdoor pool party, of course,  is subject to the famed Manitoba outdoor weather conditions, which can be bright and sunny one minute and be in a downpour a minute later.

So why not bring the outdoors indoors?

That’s what we’ve done at The Burntwood Hotel. We have the only indoor waterslide in all of Thompson, and we have it available for your child and their friends for that birthday party, wind-up party or other kid-targeted celebration.

To learn more about our pool parties and the availability of our facilities, fill out our event form here or call us at 204-677-4551.

Yes friends, it’s just about time for the fairway trek to begin, and if you’re looking for a new challenge, be sure to put the Thompson Golf Club on your itinerary.

Rated by SCOREgolf as a “strong local course”, the Thompson Golf Club is a great getaway course from the usual group of courses that you might try during the summer in Manitoba, and offers some of the best scenery available. Ranging from 2,640 to 3,321 yards (depending which colour tee box you play from, of course), the Thompson Golf Club gives you the rare opportunity to golf in a setting where you could see a Canada goose, a fox or other wildlife strolling as you carry your clubs to your next shot; so don’t forget to pack both your wedges and your camera!

Naturally, a visit to the Thompson Golf Club is only part of a trip that you would make to Thompson. Throughout the city there are a number of activities for you and your travel party, so be sure to look us up for your next sojourn in Manitoba.

Whether it’s for business, for family or for friends, there’s nothing that peaks the emotions of loved ones like getting together to celebrate an individual, couple or group. Occasions like milestone anniversaries, sports league windups and successful quarters in the office can all be feted, and the feeling that the person receiving the honour gets when they walk into a room and seeing so many people coming together just for them is unlike anything else they’ll experience.
