I remember the dog days of summer when my kids were young and there wasn’t enough to keep them from uttering those dreaded words: “I’m bored.”
The good news is there is no shortage of camps and Vacation Bible Schools happening in Erath County this summer.
Tarleton State University is hosting a slew of great camps from ag, choir, theatre and cheer to drumline and every sport you can imagine.
The university is making it easy for parents and guardians to check out the offerings by clicking here.
The link will direct you to all the summer camps and swim lessons Tarleton has to offer this summer, along with links to register.
But wait…there’s more!
