The children attending our summer school age Christmas break camp are having a great time doing a variety of activities! However, during the time that kids are home with family and friends, you might be experiencing a little bit of cabin fever! If you are looking for something fun to do with kids, try some of the following activities.

- Use all of those empty boxes and wrapping paper rolls to make your own creation. Cardboard + Duct Tape + Imagination= Fun!
Fun with cardboard and duct tape encourages imagination. A seven year old created this “kitty castle” with boxes left over from Christmas packages.
