Can you believe it’s almost summer break for the kids? We are starting to plan our family summer bucket list of fun and we always include at least one educational camp per child. My kids absolutely love attending camp with their peers and they get a much needed break from their siblings and mom. (Or, is it mom gets a much needed break?)

I sent my boys to Omaha Children’s Museum camp last summer and they loved it. My middle son attended the Minecraft camp and my youngest child attended the Mini Masterpiece Camp. I appreciate that the camps are educational and pick up and drop off is very easy.

Omaha Children’s Museum camps are taught by experienced museum educators, so kids learn through exciting interactions and activities in a safe environment! Each camp is a fun theme and are for ages 2-8. Plus, if you register before April 1st, you receive a $10 discount per camp! Read More…
