Free Summer Camps In and Around Austin

It's never too early to start thinking about summer camps. Especially when registration for some summer camps are already open or closing soon or when they're free.

COTA Bike Night
We did something super cool on Tuesday. Of course, we picked the hottest day of the week, but it was a blast and probably a once in a lifetime experience — although, we could do it again every Tuesday in April, May, and September.

And with friends scattered across town,  kids still want to play — even if no one can leave the house.

Below are fun, silly ways they can stay connected from home while Austin waits for the thaw.
