We know what you’re probably thinking, “Why are we talking about summer camp when there’s still snow in the forecast?”
Well, believe it or not, registration season has begun — some organizations are already keeping waitlists.

ARTPlay, 309 N. Ashland Ave., Ste. #190
A colorful summer awaits with the play-based approach at ARTplay. Its themed camps will explore cardboard creations, dream house designing, puppets, and art through nature.

Living Arts & Science Center, 362 N. Martin Luther King Blvd.
LASC offers a wide variety of camps (with options even for middle schoolers) all summer long. With subjects like music + dance, gardening, cooking, ceramics, space, and sustainability, your children are sure to keep the learning going even outside the traditional classroom.
