Summer is around the corner and it’s never too early to check into some of our great local options. And those a few hours away that are “just local enough!"
Finding activities to keep my son active & happy during the hotter months often felt daunting. I’m glad there are so many lists and groups now to find choices. Here are some camp programs from our local area of Durham, Chapel Hill/Carrboro, Hillsborough, Pittsboro and a few coastal & mountain options that sounded interesting to me! I’ve also included some general resource links of larger lists. Let me know what you find or have found that your children enjoyed and I’ll add it to my list!
