7 Cheap Things to Do this Summer

I always have a difficult time figuring out fun and cheap things to do for the summer.  The camps and activities can really add up.  Here is my list that I have discovered over the last couple of years:

1. Summer Book Clubs

Barnes & Noble- After your child fills out their reading journey they can pick a free book from the list of books http://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/summer-reading/_/N-rs9

Family Christain-  After reading faith based books and writing about them your child can pick out a free book from a list of books http://familychristian.com/summerreading

Scholastic -  Log minutes for reading and your child will get rewarded with prizes and unlockable activities http://www.scholastic.com/ups/campaigns/src-2016

2. $1 Movies

Regal Summer Movie Express http://learningtopeewiththedooropen.blogspot.com/2016/04/regal-summer-movies-2016.html

3. Michael's Art Classes- Camp Creativity http://www.michaels.com/classes-and-events/classesandevents

4. VBS (Vacation Bible School)  Some of the weeks in our area have a fee but I was able to find a few that were free in our area.

5. Home Depot http://workshops.homedepot.com/workshops/kids-workshops
and Lowe's building events https://lowesbuildandgrow.com

6.Local Library

 Our library has a pretty vast list of events including an event called Minecraft Madness that my 7 year old was overjoyed to attend.
