Looking out the window now, with winter in full swing, it’s tough to think about the bright and sunny months head. That’s right: summer. But June is just around the corner, meaning right now—as in this very moment—is the time to plan ahead and ensure that your family has the best June, July and August ever.
On the following pages are dozens of summer programs to enrich one’s mind, body and soul—from lacrosse to language arts, from rock ‘n’ roll to jazz—offered by suburban schools, museums and organizations. The options for making this a summer to remember are near endless.
Dates and details may be subject to change, so be sure to call ahead and/or check the websites provided to keep abreast of any changes or updates to these organizations’ summer lineups. More importantly, make contact soon, because space tends to fill up quickly, and you don’t want to be left on the outside looking in when the weather has turned its cheek.
Suburban Life has made its best efforts to compile the most accurate list possible but cannot guarantee that the list is complete or accurate.
