If you are need of a last-minute solution on where to send off your kiddos during the week, look no further. We have you covered!

The Houston Arboretum 

For explorers ages 5 to 12, the Houston Arboretum offers a program for the outdoor-loving child. Children who attend this camp will learn about wildlife habitats and get hands-on experience developing tracking skills. 

Adventure Kids Playcare

When school is out, Adventure Kids Playcare is open. Located in Memorial City, you can expect your little one to participate in themed educational experiences such as weird science day, culinary academy and around the world. Half-day, full-day and flex options are available to fit any working parent’s schedule. 

The Alley Theater 

The Alley Theater offers a spring break program for children ranging from 2nd to 12th grade. This in-person camp is a great place for the imaginative, creative or social student. Older kids (7th through 12th) have the opportunity to refine their skills through voice, movement and acting training as well as audition preparation.
