May 11, 2018

As the school year comes to an end, so do most of the school-sponsored extracurricular activities you rely on to keep your kids busy and out of trouble. As summer break approaches, you may be struggling to identify activities that will get your kids outside in the fresh air, will hold their interest, that they’ll enjoy, that they’ll tolerate as the mercury soars, and that they can pursue year-round.

It also means that you’re a work in progress and need to keep working!
