Summer activities
Are you looking for fun activities to do with your student this summer to keep them engaged in learning?
Consider taking them to the Michigan Science Center, a young-student friendly place to learn about science through visual and hands-on activities.
Your family could also attend a community event at a local park, such as Campus Martius Park. Check out the events page at https://bit.ly/3lA7Ikz for more ideas!
