Schools Out For Summer! That’s one of our favorite sayings around my house but it also means we need to have plans in place for activities while the kids are home during summer break. From my experience it’s best to start early so you have a schedule ready before camps and programs are full and so you can budget appropriately for exciting and educational activities to keep the kids in a fun learning environment.
Which leads me to this more-than-helpful website Blueprint4SummerSTL. Blueprint4SummerSTL is an easy-to-use mobile app that connects ALL local kids to summer learning opportunities. What I love about Blueprint4SummerSTL is that with three very different children at different ages I can choose a category that best fits their personality and likes. You can choose from academics, arts, cooking, dance, drama, music, nature, sports and STEM. Plus choose a camp that works well with where they are academically and that offers activities all throughout the day based on your schedule.
For my 14 year-old I entered sports into the database and found one of our favorites the British Soccer Camp Half Day program! I was easily able to click the link for the Camp, go directly to the website and sign him up for a session that works with our schedule. He is planning to play soccer in high school so this camp is perfect for him.
For my 11 year-old I entered music into the database and found this awesome program: The Air Guitar Rock & Roll Tour available at the St. Louis County Library. This is a one day event but he will absolutely love it and the best part about it is that it’s FREE!
For my 7 year-old I entered dance and arts. In the arts category I choose the CRE-ART-IVITY Camp available at Camp Magic House and in the dance category I choose the Freeze Dance Party at the St. Louis County Library. She will LOVE both of these activities.
With hundreds of activities available within the database you’re sure to find programs that will fit your children and your needs perfectly!
