It’s hard to believe that we are less than two months away from Summer. This year is flying by and now with relaxed COVID protocol, it feels like things are getting back to normal. That normal during the summer, can be a little chaotic and it’s also a great time for your kids to try out new things.

Summer Day Camps and extracurricular activities are great opportunities for your children to take part in something outside of their usual routine. Summer Camps help children to foster an open mind, build new relationships, strengthen interpersonal and work skills outside of their familiar zones, and learn or refine a skill. Whether your child is interested in sports, music, or technology, we have our annual Summer Camp round-up to help you find that fantastic camp that will excite and entertain your children this summer.
