School is almost out, and the kids will be home all summer long. As a stay at home parent, I always enjoyed having them home with me, but found that 9 weeks together was a little too long. I liked to break it up with a week of camp each month. It gave us all a break from each other, and got them out socializing with kids their own age.
I prefer to enroll my kids in camps that keep them outdoors and active, and there is no shortage of options that meet my criteria.
If you want your kids to be active and on the move this summer, then check out Evolve Skateboarding Scootering Summer Camps. Your kids are sure to enjoy checking out different skate parks across the city. The camp visits a different park each day, and with bus pick ups at various locations across the city, it doesn't matter where you live.

I wish I had known about Evolve camps when my kids were younger, and learning how to board. Having a trained instructor teach them may have lessened their frustration.
