Kid-Friendly Summer Activities

This is my favorite season because the weather is getting warmer and the days are longer! The kids are out of school, which means it’s time to keep them occupied and off the electronics.
Make sure to stay updated daily with fun videos and lots of information on All things Danville and the surrounding areas! Follow me on IG and FB @Danville Social.
I also made a list of Summer Camps for Kids 2022 Make sure to enroll soon, as some already have a waitlist!
