Let’s Go Camping
I
t’s already March and before you know it, the school year will be coming to an end. The weather is getting hotter and the kids are getting restless. Luckily, Our City magazine can help parents find fun and meaningful activities to keep their children entertained. Check out our new Spring Break Camp Guide in this issue! It is a curated list of many of the area’s top camps and activities conveniently scheduled for when the kids are out of school. Our camp guide has everything an active young person could want. Whether it’s a high-energy sports camp, half-day dance session, or an educational program, Our City’s Spring Break Camp Guide has something for everyone and every interest. Also, look out for our Summer Camp Guide in the May issue and online. The Summer Camp Guide provides detailed descriptions on the area’s numerous day camp and academic enrichment program options. This year, we will also include information about some of the more popular overnight camp destinations for South Florida kids. Rest assured, whatever interests you and your child, you’ll find it in Our City’s comprehensive Summer Camp Guide.
