Get Ready to Play! The Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape in Forest Park Opens in June.

Each year, summer camps take thousands of kids on an incredible adventure, where they can explore the great outdoors and make both friends and memories that will last a lifetime. When camps are more inclusive, it benefits every child ready for summer fun. 

Now that the sun is out and our vaccines are in, we can finally ditch our Cheetos-streaked-yoga-pants for a clean pair of yoga pants and head back out in the world – as long as we stick with the recommended health guidelines. So, toss on your mask and hit these seven spots for socially-distanced excitement that will thrill every member of your family.

The creatures in this temporary exhibit will move realistically, some roaring and spitting, or placidly marching on lush vegetation to the delight of visitors. Along the tropically planted trail in this land before time, families will discover the amazing connection between dinosaurs and living animals today. 

Online learning is different from traditional school in many ways. But given the right environment and support, could it lead kids to become more self-directed? More motivated? We asked experts how parents can help kids become stronger online learners and develop skills they'll use throughout their lives.

This summer, add a new must-do to the top of your bucket list when the Anne O’C. Albrecht Nature Playscape in Forest Park opens to little adventurers ready for an outdoor experience like no other.
