This Week: Summer Camp Deals, Free Outdoor Summer Music Festivals, Field Station: Dinosaurs
With June starting this weekend, summer camp is on all of our minds. Not only did we put together a diverse list of quality programs that still have availability, we also launched our annual summer camp sale. Save up to 65% on 15 different programs, all vetted by Mommy Poppins moms.
Drop-in summer fun is also on the agenda. On the NYC site, we rounded up 30 festivals and fairs in June, free outdoor music and culture series and reviewed the brand-new, open-air attraction Field Station: Dinosaurs just across the Hudson River.
Our other sites are focusing on summer fun, too. Connecticut shared 25 free and cheap things to do in Fairfield County this summer and Boston rounded up 25 things to do in Springfield, Massachusetts this season. And over in New Jersey, we spotlighted the family-friendly beaches of the Jersey Shore.
Here's what else we shared this week on our NYC site.
