EMPIRE CODE CODING CAMP 2021
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused many daily activities to move online—work, school, grocery shopping, birthday parties, and even playdates. However, that doesn’t mean your summer plans have gone completely out the window. Virtual summer camp might be just the perfect activity to help your kids stay safe and have some fun.
While school’s out, your kids can still have the opportunity to meet some new friends and socialize. It may not be the summer you envisioned, but you can still make the best of it. Here are some virtual and on-campus summer camp options to check out with your kids:
