With students out of school for the year, many parents will be looking for opportunities to keep their kids learning and away from screens. 

Terri Casey, Director of the University of Illinois Extension in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties, explains that they are hosting three programs this summer to help beat the summer boredom. The first is a Lego Camp for kids 8-18 on June 9th. 

On June 16th and July 7th, Casey indicates that kids aged 5-7 can participate in Cloverbud Camp. This program is intended to introduce STEM concepts to children at a young age. 

For kids who are more crafty, Casey says they will host a clothing embellishment workshop on June 17th. This program, like the others, requires pre-registration, and spots are limited.
