Summer is in full swing and many of us are simply still trying to figure it out. Some summer camps have reconvened while others haven’t. We’ve heard from several moms that are still trying to figure out what they should do with their kids this summer. Michigan summers are amazing but there are days when going outside simply isn’t an option. So, what do we do?! Well, YouTube announced they will be offering virtual summer camp absolutely FREE.
As a mom who YouTubes just about everything, I couldn’t be more excited! You actually may catch me taking a few of these summer camps with or without my kids. Now, you’re probably wondering what it is they are offering and why you should check it out.
On June 22, YouTube announced that they would be launching #CampYouTube, a dedicated section on YouTube for littles 13 and under. Here, you’ll find an array of options when it comes to virtual summer camp with over 1,200 videos for children and teens to choose from. You can find everything on the YouTubeKids app or YouTube’s Learn@Home section.
#CampYouTube is divided into the following four sections: Arts Camp, Sports Camp, STEM Camp, and Adventure Camp. Your child can learn how to play the guitar, master yoga, or learn how to code. Better yet, your child can learn to do all three. There is literally something for everyone here. The content is amazing and was created by a lineup of people you already know and love. You’ll enjoy stuff from American Museum of Natural History, Dodo Kids, thebrainscoop, TED-Ed, Blippi, Antonelli Baseball, Brave Wilderness, Cosmic Kids Yoga, MLB, National Geographic, Physics Girl, Science Insider, the Science Channel and dozens more. I’m certain you’ll find hundreds of hours of summertime fun within the comfort of your own home– and on days it’s simply too hot to go outside.
Here’s our summer lineup:
Dodo Kids is the place to be if your kids love animals. Mine are completely obsessed and who doesn’t love to watch an animal being rescued. We’ll be hanging out at Camp Animal Rescue with Dodo Kids #CampYouTube #WithMe this summer.
We’ll also be checking out Sometimes You’re a Caterpillar, which is located in their Campfire Talks. This book is all about teaching children about differences.
The above are just a few we’ve added to our list and as the summer goes on, we’ll be adding more. My daughter is all about Kidz Bop and learning some new dance moves, learning to play the guitar, and learning the basics of coding. Check out the complete list of virtual summer camps. Don’t forget, some of them will need you to create a login for your child. Once you do, your child can choose from an abundance of summer camps in their age range.
