Parents: A Field Trip to Your Local Park Can Be Fun!

July 5, 2012 by wgbyeducation

We know that, even though school’s out for summer, the hustle and bustle of a family’s schedule never dwindles.  We also understand that it can be tough to come up with fun, new ideas for things to do with kids all summer long.  That’s why the National Recreation and Park Association wrote a column for PBS Parents talking about fun things to do at your local park.  Some of their fun ideas include:

  • Go on a scavenger hunt
  • Make art from nature
  • Watch the clouds
  • Start a rock collection

Keep checking in with PBS Parents for ideas to fill your kids’ summer with fun!
