April 27, 2017

Wouldn’t it be nice to forget about work and bills, pack a bag and spend summer at camp? That’s probably impossible for you, but if you have children, they’ve got plenty of options.

Traditional sleep-away summer camps, athletics camps, technology camps … there’s something for everyone.

For a more complete listing, visit Kids Life Magazine, but here’s some notables:

If your child is developing an interest in music, the Community Music School at the University of Alabama hosts several summer camps for children of all ages and skill levels. Like musicals? There’s a two-week camp for children ages 6 to 12, and the goal is putting on a production of “Madagascar,” based on the DreamWorks film by the same name, said CMS Director Jane Welgel.
