Kidventure Summer Camps ~ Austin, TX

I can hardly believe that it is time to start thinking about summer.  Every year, I feel the pressure to make sure that I have my plans lined up by April! Do you feel that way too?

It's actually really good to start planning now, as many of the amazing camp spots go as soon as they open up.  Luckily, in the Austin area, there are a great deal of options to choose from.



Kidventure, celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, has fun day and overnight camps to choose from.   Kidventure runs an active and purposeful curriculum with activities aimed at serving the whole child. I love their goal - to simply help grow happy, healthy kids through fun camp activities.
