March Break Options

Summer and March Break Activities

March 16th, 2017 | Kaitlyn Straub

March and Summer break is an exciting time. No school for a whole week! But for parents, this can be demanding. Some parents send their kids to camps, some line up fun activities and day trips/events, while others just let their kids have free rein of the house: toys, computers, T.V., iPads, etc.. For those that are not sure yet what to do for this March break, or March and Summer breaks to come, I've compiled a little list of fun places to go, and camps around the GTA.

March and Summer Break Camps:
