2E SPECIFIC SUMMER PROGRAMS
Summer can be both a special and challenging time, especially without the routines and structure of daily life. For older kids, it can be a great opportunity to volunteer, get involved in the community, or try a part-time job. At the same time, it’s important to balance activities with what works best for your family—making room for downtime, rest, family time, and fun. As always, we hope you find what’s right for your kids and your family.
