July: Get Outside this Summer!

One of the blessings of summer is family vacation. And one of the curses of summer is family vacation. The Institute for Youth Development has provided tips for having fun and maintaining peace on a family summer vacation.

Many children spend much of their free time in front of the television or computer screen. As a result, they don't have opportunities to interact with nature, which can lead to attention problems, obesity, anxiety, and depression.

Many summer camps still have availability. Although choosing the right summer camp for your child can be daunting, the right summer camp can help your child learn new skills and build self-confidence.

Not sure how to take advantage of the great outdoors? We've gathered a number of outdoor activities to have your children laughing and learning in no time while taking in a little fresh air.

Many parents think that their children need to be a certain age before they are ready for camping outdoors. A little bit of preparation and planning can make for a great outdoors adventure with your little one.
