Hoop It Up
Texas Legends Camps 
Legends Summer Camps are for boys & girls ages 6-14.  This summer there are five 4-day sessions to choose from where your child will learn a variety of skills and drills from the Texas Legends’ star-studded coaching staff including visits from celebrity guests!  Campers will compete in contests, improve their game and interact with the most fan-friendly team in DFW!   texas.gleague.nba.com

 

Amplify the Adventure 
Go Ape
Go Ape Treetop Adventure in Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve features zip lining that incorporates a high-ropes course. It is a mix of high ropes, zip lines and obstacles that will challenge, surprise and engage the entire family! Not only will everyone be grinning from ear to ear, but you’ll also get some instantly shareable pictures with very scenic backdrops.   goape.com

 

Get Creative
The Artists Showplace Art Classes and Painting Workshops 
Much more than a 12,000-square-foot gallery featuring an extensive selection of artwork, the Artists Showplace Gallery is the destination of choice for some of the country’s premier painting workshops, led by renowned international and national instructors. The Gallery also offers weekly classes in all styles and mediums.  Artists of all skill levels welcome.  theartistsshowplace.com 

 

Jump into Fun
Altitude
Help the kids get off the couch – or join them for a night of family fun. With facilities including over 35,000 square feet of indoor jumping space and dodge ball, plus food and music to keep the vibe going, Friday nights may just wear out even the most energetic kids.  altituderichardson.com

 

Learn Something New
Explore Horizons
Research shows that nearly two-thirds of children fall behind in their studies over the summer break. Want your child to stay ahead of this summer slide? Explore Horizons offer a range of engaging, fun educational activities that bolster math, reading, writing, and STAAR prep skills over the summer and into the new school year. Not only can families enjoy a free in-person assessment for their child anytime they choose, but you can also join our free Back to School Workshop on August 15th to get learners back in the zone with strong learning habits for the new year.  explore-horizons.com 

 

Get On With The Show 
North Texas Performing Arts Camps
NTPA’S  2-Week Productions cram all the fun of a major production into two crazy weeks! All students who sign up will be cast. Auditions take place on the first day of rehearsal. Students will put on a full-length production at the end of the camp with multiple performances over the final weekend. northtexasperformingarts.org
