Hey parents in Palo Alto, Redwood City, Woodside, Portola Valley, Atherton, and Menlo Park!
If your kids are anything like mine, they’re ready for nonstop fun as soon as summer starts. Having some camps scheduled is a win-win — they get a break from us (and we from them), and we might even get a little work done.
Good news: We’ve rounded up some awesome local summer camps and programs on the Lower Peninsula to keep your kids busy and happy.
Bonus: some camps are offering special discounts just for our readers, so be sure to check the listings below!
If you run a camp and you'd like to be included in our guide, please send me an email for more information - TienlynJ@macaronikid.com..
