We all know an idle mind is a waste. Do you have plans for your child/children this summer? For the past two years, parents and guardians were faced with finding an answer to that question. It was tough trying to create a plan and have something productive to do for the kids while the pandemic had us all on lockdown.

The good news is, that there are a ton of summer activities for the kids to do this year during the 2022 summer months. Most of the area summer camps are during the day and last anywhere from a couple of days, a week to the entire summer. So, this year there are plenty of choices for parents to choose from.
