Minneapolis kids are in for a treat this winter and spring as the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board has announced a slew of seasonal camps and programs to keep youngsters engaged, active, and learning. An extensive list of Neighborhood Day Camps covering an array of interests has been released.
Parents scrambling to find ways to keep quickly, their kids busy will be relieved. A Remote Control Chaos Camp is set to take place at Folwell Rec Center on February 20th for those kids who love tinkering with gadgets. But if music and arts are more in tune with your child's interests, the Music and Movement Camp, hitting the Longfellow Rec Center on March 1st, and the Art and Science Camp on March 29th are prime picks. Additionally, the same location will also house an Archery Camp on March 29th for the adventurous types.
In a world increasingly dominated by technology, the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board is ensuring kids get a head-start. A STEM Camp is scheduled at Stewart Rec Center from April 1st to 5th, offering a mix of science, technology, engineering, and math activities. For those with a flair for the dramatic, a Theater Camp will unroll at Painter Rec Center concurrently with the STEM Camp. And for kids who missed the previous Remote Control Chaos Camp, a second chance pops up on April 10th at Hiawatha School Park Rec Center—with a warning that only one spot is left.
Gardening might traditionally be a warm-weather activity, but the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board is set fully, to plant the seeds of horticultural interest in the young ones with a Gardening Camp slated for April 10th at Harrison Rec Center. Interested parents should note that registration for summer Neighborhood Day Camps opens on February 21st at noon.

The STEM Explorers Series, designed for youth aged 8 to 13, is also part of the lineup, offering a variety of hands-on STEM-based programs such as marble runs, bridge building, air-powered rockets, and the Foil Boat Expedition. These programs aim to provide interactive and educational environments where kids can "develop their problem-solving skills, creativity, and scientific knowledge."
