It is hard to believe that soon kids will be out of school and we parents will be wondering what to do when we hear for the 20th time “I’m bored, I don’t have anything to do.”
Some parents who are working away from home might also need new arrangements for full time daycare.
We have in our community many options to help the “boredom syndrome”. If your child is in scouting of course your first place to turn to is the local as well as away from home scouting camps. Check with your scout leadership for what activities will be available here and elsewhere. You are not bound to sending your child with your troop. They can participate in camps independently of their troop both in boys or girl scouts programs.
Time to register is now.
Many churches will be holding day camps as well and the first place to look is of course your own place of worship, but do not discount other churches as well. While many might give preference to their own members they will (space being available) welcome your children.
