Summer Activity Guide 2021

Summertime can present challenges to working families of school age children who must make different arrangements for childcare needs and children’s activities. Seventy-six percent of all Utah school age children 5-12 years old have parents in the work force, creating the potential for many children to be left unattended. Many children are not prepared to be left home alone. Children in self-care are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, be truant from school, experience stress, have poor grades and abuse substances. They are susceptible to feelings of loneliness, fear, and boredom. Summer activities are a wonderful way to offer fun, constructive activities to occupy your children’s time. Summer activities can give your children learning opportunities that not only help to ease their boredom, but can also help them become well-rounded, socially capable adults.

We at Care About Childcare – USU have gathered this list of possible summer activities that may be of interest to you and your children. We do not recommend one over another and we accept no responsibility or liability for them. We feel it best for families to choose and monitor the site that best fits the needs of their child.

This is not a comprehensive list, although we have done our best to include as many programs in the area as possible. Programs in this guide are subject to change, especially as COVID-19 continues to alter plans. Please double-check that the following listings are active by contacting businesses or researching before you make plans. Please contact the program for further information on cost, hours of operation and enrollment. We hope that you will take the time to talk to your children and help them choose the activities that are best suited to their interests and your needs. Please let us know if we can be of any further service to you. If you have any questions or have suggestions of any programs you feel should be added to this guide, please contact us at childcare.help@usu.edu.
