Spring Break is creeping up, for me, it feels faster than expected. What have you got planned for Spring Break this year? With most people working from home, having the kids at home all day is an option many would like to avoid. It’s either book some holiday time off or find a camp. My preference is camp and there are many available that have taken measures to ensure they are COVID safe.
Camps are a great way to let your child try something new or advance a skill set. There are opportunities for your children to perform, build, and move around, but most importantly, have a lot of fun!
Here are some organizations offering exciting camps in the Lower Mainland this March.
