One of the great things about living in and around the capital of Texas is all the fantastic resources for parents. With summer on the horizon, how are we going to fill the long days for our kids?
Each year, new and interesting summer camps appear for our kids to try––and they fill up fast. Check out the Austin Chronicle Summer Camp Guide every year.
Austin Family Magazine is a free publication that also puts out a list of the summer camps in Austin and across the state. They can also be found at most grocery stores and there is an online version.
There are also parent groups that have the lowdown on what's happening––and can even give you firsthand experience. Two of the best are:
Remember to check with your local library and the YMCA for what is going on at your nearest location. Therapists can be a great source as well, and may have heard the good and bad from other families.
Whatever you decide to do this summer, remember to take time just for you and your family. Sit, breathe, and enjoy each other on those gorgeous sun filled Texas days.
To find camps, you can also go to the Find Services, Groups, and Events on this website.
With any child, recognizing cues is important. But as they get older, sometimes it is harder to do.

“Being a mom is like jumping out of a plane with a bunch of people who don’t know how to open their own chutes. So you fly around doing it for them. Then you hit the ground. But you don’t die. You get up and you cook dinner.” -Unknown
