Summer Is the Perfect Time to Power Down the Screens and Power Up Creativity!
As summer creeps closer and school winds down, many parents find themselves facing the same question: How can I keep my kids busy, happy, and off screens all day? Between YouTube rabbit holes, never-ending video games, and the siren song of tablets and phones, it’s easier than ever for kids to lose hours (and sometimes days) to screens. And while there’s a time and place for a cozy movie night or a favorite show, we all know the magic really happens when kids are engaged—really engaged—in doing something hands-on, imaginative, and just plain fun.
That’s where summer camps come in. And not just any camps—creative camps that get kids painting, singing, building, dancing, and dreaming big.
Creativity: The Ultimate Screen Detox
There’s something incredibly refreshing about watching a child light up while making their own puppet, painting a giant mural, or stepping into a silly character. These aren’t just cute crafts and skits. They’re opportunities for kids to:
• Express themselves
• Build confidence
• Collaborate with new friends
• Solve problems in imaginative ways
• Take pride in something they made from scratch
And the best part? They’re too busy having fun to even think about asking for screen time.
What Happens at Creative Camps?
Whether they’re focused on music, art, drama, or all three, creative camps offer a blend of structured activities and open-ended imaginative exploration. Every day is different, and no two imaginations are alike. Even better: Kids go home tired, happy, and full of stories—not screen replays.
For Parents, It’s Peace of Mind
You’ll drop your child off knowing they’re in a safe, inspiring environment with professional teaching artists who know how to nurture creativity and keep energy levels high. It’s a break from tech battles at home, and a chance for your child to grow in confidence and independence.
This Summer, Let Them Unplug to Plug Into Their Imagination
If your family is ready to swap screen time for real-time creativity, now’s the time to find a summer camp that fits your child’s interests. Whether they love to sing and dance, tell stories, or make things with their hands, there’s a camp that will get them excited—and maybe even spark a lifelong passion. So this summer, let’s trade glowing screens for glitter, glue, and goofy improv games. Your kids (and your sanity) will thank you.
