We know that summer can be a great time for rest and renewal, but it can also bring some challenges. Many parents ask for activities, camps, and academic and social opportunities for the children over the summer. We've compiled some resources for you to check out. Some of these resources have been recommended to us by other parents, social workers or organizations that we keep up with. Please don't take these ideas as recommendations--we haven't necessarily tried all of them out.
Here's a fun way to schedule your week and to keep kids doing new and fresh things!
