Summer Fun For Kids
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-06-02/summer-fun-kids
It's a two month stretch that strikes fear in the hearts of many parents. In a few weeks, thousands of kids across our region will start their summer vacation. And parents will try to figure out how to keep them engaged, entertained, and safe. Choices range from specialty day camps to traditional sleep-away cabins in the woods. And there are a number of free or low-cost programs through community organizations, schools and libraries. We explore options for fun and learning in summer.
