Apple Youth Programs: They have three different programs (for families, teachers, and kids) all summer long. The Apple Camp look the coolest, as kids ages 8 to 12 get to make a movie, compose a song, whip up a photo book, and then bring home a DVD of the projects they made.
Bowling: Once again, the Kids Bowl Free program is back and allows kids under 12 to bowl two free games every day. This deal could be especially good if you have your own pair of bowling shoes. I looked on ebay and saw a few pairs going for around $15.
Lifestyles Family Fitness: Kids ages 12-17 can work out for free for two months this summer. How many other people were in the best shape of their life as a teenager? I used to train for cross country and baseball all summer long. Now? I’m lucky if I can drag my butt out to the lawn chairs by the pool.
Lowes: Now that they’ve switched to a weekly schedule, I figure their Build & Grow clinics on Saturdays at 10am are worth planning for. This week they’ll build a picture frame, next week a monster truck, and who knows after that.
National Parks: They’re bringing back their free National Parks admission days on Aug. 14 & 15 as well as Sept. 25.
REI Kids’ Adventure Journal: Containing games and activities, this journal encourages getting outdoors and going hiking. My method of getting kids outside to tell them to get the mail and then lock all the doors.
