March 2016 Summer Camp Preview

I’m loving the spring-like days we’ve had this month though I’m bracing myself for the colder temps and snow potential that’s heading our way as I write this letter. My family and I are going to Colorado for spring break so I’ll get my fill of cold and snow while there! Even if you’re a cold weather person, I’m sure you’ll agree that consecutive outside play times have been a VERY welcome change.

The good news about being snow bound is that you’ll have this issue in hand to start spring and summer planning for your kiddos. Look to pages 2-22 to fill their days with camps and programs to suit every child’s interests. And be watching for even more opportunities in our April Summer Camp Guide.

We’re excited to partner once again with Champions for Kids for their biggest event of the year…RazorFest! This year’s event is April 23, 9-11:30 am at Razorback Stadium. RazorFest is a free, family-friendly event held prior to the annual Red-White game (12 pm kickoff) and includes games, inflatables, concerts, performances, autographs, mascots, healthy tips, giveaways, and more. They also host a food drive to benefit NWA Food Bank and UA Full Circle Pantry. If you’ve never been, we strongly encourage you to come and stop by our booth for some fun! Visit championsforkids.org/razorfest for more information about this amazing organization.
