Summer Fun 2023

What do you have planned for your kids this summer? No parent wants to hear their kids complain about how boring it is and that there’s nothing to do. Plan now to take advantage of the fun, safe, and educational programs available in our area.

Summer programs are much more than spending time away from home. Instructional learning activities bring exciting days full of fun. Your child will learn valuable skills such as teamwork, patience, and Atheir knowledge and engage their minds. Most importantly, the majority of summer programs are screen-free!

Encourage your kids to try new things. If they have never been exposed to musical instruments, they may not know how interesting it is to learn how to play one. They could be the next up-and-coming ‘first chair’. They may be the next marathon runner or find they love reading. The old saying is true, “You never know until you try”.

Don’t let time slip up on you - sign up today! Most camps fill up quickly and you want to reserve your child’s spot as soon as you can. For current updates on each one, check the company or organization’s social media page or website.

Make this summer memorable for your child as they make new friendships and socialize. Unplug, have fun, and enjoy the summer!
