Hi!! How do we get on this list?! Thanks!!
http://www.uta.edu/coehp/kinesiology/fitnessadventures/index.php
What a GREAT list of camps you have gathered for your area! Gives me ideas for our blog to compile a list for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area!
Leaving a comment to let you know that I’m thrilled that you added Color Me Mine to your list! We’re hosting the first ever MN Blogging event for bloggers AND their children in April at our local Color Me Mine! Can’t wait!
Very disappointed. Only one Arlington activity and no Fort Worth. Great stuff for North Dallas area, but title was misleading. You missed:
Fort Worth Museum of Science and History – science and art classes
River Legacy in Arlington – Science classes
Camp Thurman in Arlington – Very active day camp
Theatre Arlington – theatre camp
Creative Arts Theatre and School – theatre camp
Swimming lessons – Emler Swim School
And those are just off the top of my head.
Love your site. Just disappointed in this article – title misleading.
