Summer is on its way! While things are slowly starting to open up, there is still always a need for some extra fun to help fill up those (sometimes) long summer days! To help, I’ve scoured the net and composed a list of some of the best free and low cost online summer camp options I’ve come across. This is a pretty lengthy list, so I’ve broken it up into different categories. As a note, the hot link on some devices puts it a couple of links past the start, so you may need to scroll up a tiny bit to see the first two resources.

If your child joins, make sure to help them pin the instructor’s video so they don’t miss out on any of the drawing instruction. Stem & StrawsTwice a month they offer free workshops.

If yours doesn’t currently offer virtual events, check out my local library. They have events several times a week, and you don’t need a library card to join in the fun. They’ve had kids from all over the world join in 😊 Homeschool Co-op 2020There are lots of free events available on here every day. However, if you sign your kiddo up for an event on here, be sure to stay close by during classes. Most of the time things are fine, but Z bombers have targeted classes on here in the past.
