Drop off your kids (2 1/2–5) for fun with sports, art, music, science and more with other kids their age. The three-hour program follows a different theme each week, from trains and planes to pirates and mermaids. You can choose from a few days, a week or two, or even the whole summer. 9am–noon, May 27–Aug 29. One day: $65 per child; one week: $275 per child.
With summer around the corner, nothing sounds better than letting your kids out of the confines of your home to enjoy the fresh air and release some creative energy. When running around the playground gets a bit tired, these drop-in camps are a godsend: They offer flexible schedules—choose your days or weeks—for kids to explore music, art, science, and of course, the great outdoors.
