Kids love to get a break from school during the summer, but parents deserve a break, too. With a few cool Startup America members, keeping the kids busy is easy. They will love it, and you will too!

Remember playing with lizards, starting food fights, and skinning your knees? Want your kids to do the same? Do not let the stress of planning stop you from sending your kids to camp. Use Startup America member CampEasy to make finding a fun camp stress-free! Simply enter a child’s name and grade, select available weeks, and choose between sleep away and day camps at a certain location, and CampEasy will find a camp for you. You and your kids will both enjoy a little time apart; you know, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

If you live in New York City and have trouble keeping your kids busy all summer, check out Startup America member Mama411. This convenient website gathers events every week from all around the city. You will find shows, museum exhibits and more, all in one place.  Mama411 lets you search events by date, category, cost, age and location.  If the event works for you, log in and add it to your own personal list. With Mama411, your city kids will never get bored this summer.

Kids will learn the importance of healthy living and fitness, and the mental exercise will inspire confidence and concentration. If you are not from Boston, download the free application, or order the My First Yoga books to keep your kids moving.

If your kids get stir crazy at home, sit them down with a story from Startup America member Hartlyn Kids, and they will experience a journey around the world! Each story inspires kids to imagine daily life in a foreign country. With a Hartlyn Kids passport, your child will look forward to reading and learning about foreign countries. Each book comes with a passport sticker so your kid can document his travels!
