This summer looks different than others, thanks to COVID-19. The summer program that DREAM used to offer has been canceled, along with other summer camps your children were excited to attend. With everything that has been canceled, there are still ways kids can have fun and learn this summer! Omaha kids summer programs are still happening, just not in the traditional sense.
There are many camps and programs that your children can participate in virtually! Many of these programs involve virtual field trips and online learning activities! Here is a list of Omaha kids summer programs you should consider as we move into the last month of summer!
