School's (almost) out. Let the day camp countdown begin!

Summer break is coming in hot, and if you’re wondering how to keep your kids entertained and engaged (without turning your living room into a jungle gym), we’ve got you covered.

Looking for a fresh way to fill those long summer days? These camps aren’t just a break from the school year—they’re a chance for kids to explore new interests, build confidence, and dive into hands-on fun. Think animal encounters, messy art projects, mini science experiments, and big-time adventures.

Local day camps bring the perfect mix of fun and function. Here are some of the coolest options to keep your kids smiling (and learning) all summer long.
