The lazy days of summer are flying by when you suddenly realize you have no camps or activities planned for your kids in August. You’re panicked—what will you do?  

Fear no more. Activity Rocket is here with five tried-and true-tips to keep your kids happy during their last month before the school grind kicks back in. Did we mention, your wallet will also be happy with these great savings?  

1. Kids climbing the walls at home? Check out Gaithersburg’s Dynamite Allstars Agility Zone where kids of all ages can climb, jump, swing, and challenge themselves on obstacle courses. Its also a great idea for birthday parties (where you can save 25 percent)! For more information, visit Activity Rocket
