"Mom, we're bored!" The dreaded words no mom wants to hear, especially at the beginning of summer. So, here are some options for you:
Go to a park and fly a kite.
Hit the Harris Hill pool.
Run through a sprinkler or set up a slip and slide.
Head to the library.
Tour a museum.
Enroll in a camp.
Go on a scavenger hunt.
Ride a bike.
Eat ice cream.
Burn off some energy at a playground.
See a movie.
Play mini-golf.
We are also fortunate that there are many summer programs in our area to take advantage of. We are having two weeks of summer camp at the preschool this year, July 14-18 and August 11-15. Also locally, Tanglewood Nature Center, Wings of Eagles Discovery Center, Head Over Heels Gymnastics, Elmira Gymnastics and the Corning YMCA offer many fun programs for children. For school aged children, both Horseheads and Big Flats have Summer Cohesion/TAFFY programs for children ages 5 and up. Don't forget to also take advantage of all the local parks, playgrounds, museums, resource centers and zoos!
