UREADYKIDSCAMP June || Free At Home Summer Camp for Preschoolers

May 31, 2020
UReadyKidsCamp

Calling all parents and caregivers of kids age 2-7...

are you wondering what the heck to do with your kids this summer? Traditional summer camps canceled? Still working from home and nervous to send your kids to camp or daycare? Just looking for some fun ideas to entertain kids on evenings and weekends? You have come to the right place my friend and you are definitely not alone!

I have created a FREE virtual summer camp for kids that includes ideas for everything you need to give your kids as close to a real camp experience as you can from home! I'm giving your 45 pages of themed arts, crafts and activity ideas along with snacktivities, children's book connections, online resources and free printables. These activities include sensory play activities, STEM activities, fine motor/pre-writing activities, process art projects, kids' craft projects, tinker trays/play dough trays and dramatic play setups! In addition to the many activities found in the packet you can also find more themed activity ideas from our guest counselors over on instagram and through our #ureadykidscamp

This summer camp is super flexible. Do one project or do ten. Don't have some of the materials? Swap them out with some of the suggested substitutions or pick a different project. The packet comes with a weekly planner so parents and caregivers can create their own flexible schedule to fit the specific needs of their child(ren). Many of the projects use common household items, recyclables or things from nature although it is helpful to have a few basic art supplies on hand!

Also did I mention this camp is FREE!? NO strings attached. NO registration required. Why? Because 2020 has been really really hard and I wanted to do something to make things a little bit easier for everyone...and I am a curriculum nerd and like to do things like this for fun. I hope you enjoy these activities and if you do decide to join our camp please follow along over on instagram to see more detailed instructions, videos, additional activities and let me know how your ureadykidscamp experience is going!
