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.

After a while the old standbys (swimming, trampoline parks, waterparks, movies) lose their appeal. There are only so many camps and classes you can sign your kids up for. And, you probably prefer that they do something more productive than watching YouTube and playing video games. Fortunately, if you live in the Houston area, you have access to an outdoor activity that kids love – and that they’ll actually learn from (without realizing they’re learning!) This activity is high-speed karting!
