“Liam, time to turn off the videos games and go play outside.” This saying is a saying all parents can relate to. The constant battle of trying to find things for your children or grandchildren to do instead of playing video games is something all parents and grandparents deal with during the summer.
With the constant evolution of technology, it seems like there is always a new gaming system or a brand new video game that your kids would rather play than go outside. The days of playing outside with friends may seem like they are gone, but we are here to help restore what was once every kids favorite time of year.
Competing with playing Minecraft, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Fortnite is a difficult task, but we are confident we have a solution. We have compiled 14 different activities and programs this summer that your kids will enjoy as much or even more than playing their Xbox, Play Station, and Switch.
1. ART HAVEN'S SUMMER CAMPS
AGES 4-12
Art Haven is a Total Art Experience with multi medium experiences every session, with two and three-dimensional art. Students will discover principles and elements of design, art history, and culture. Students use their imagination to turn their ideas into reality and create works of art that will impress. Combining fine art with sculpture and mixed media will provide each child with the knowledge and skills they need to unleash their creativity and the ability to produce beautiful works of art. Make sure you dress for the mess and have them come join in on the creativity and fun.
