Whether you’re planning a major vacation, summer road trip or staycation this year, make sure
In a comparison of family behaviors, researchers at Brigham Young’s Marriot School found that ordinary daily activities such as family dinners, game night, story time and playing catch in the backyard played a bigger role in strengthening family cohesiveness and created stronger childhood memories than pricey vacations. That doesn’t mean there isn’t value in expanding your children’s horizons and exposing them to new sights and activities; but it does mean that, for children, the most important part of a vacation is spending time with their parents. Given the current economy, that’s good news for families that have decided to scale back or forego vacations this summer.
Your child can enjoy the best of both worlds this summer when you augment family fun with exciting new activities at Horizon Education Centers’ summer camps.
