Spring break is nearly here, and you may be wondering how to keep the kids busy during their time off. Spring break camps offer a great way to keep them active, learning, and engaged (not to mention out of your hair) while they're out of school.  

We've rounded up eight camps for the upcoming spring break, with options for kids who want to get their hands dirty in the great outdoors, build STEM skills in a classroom, and even hone their sports skills.

Be sure to check out our Event Calendar for more fun things to do during the break. And if you're looking ahead to the end of the school year, don't miss our Summer Camp Guide for Westchester Kids.

Here's a sampling of the school holiday camps available this spring break. It's always worth checking with your local play space or other neighborhood kid spot to see if it's offering programming. Be sure to click through to the camps' official sites for more details, including hours and pricing, and register ASAP as current COVID protocols mean many local camps are limiting group sizes this spring.
