Left to their own devices, children will chew through dry wall, eat a four-course meal of crayons, and construct complex chromosome models using Legos. Keep kids healthily occupied and engaged with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get two days of Anytime Summertime Kids Camp (up to a $90 value) at The Little Gym. Camps are held weekdays from June 13 to August 19. Choose between the following locations in Austin: Lakeline or Austin South.

With more than 30 years of kid-entertaining experience, The Little Gym provides fun and safe kids' camps wherein wee ones can exercise their brains and bodies. Send one youngster to bounce off the walls over two three-hour camp days (consecutive or nonconsecutive), or send two energy-fraught moppets to one camp day. Designed for ages 3 to 8, each week has a new, unique theme and gives children the opportunity to exercise, learn about exciting topics, and use their imaginations to play make-believe. Fantasy Castle and Wild West weeks immerse children in creative tumbling, adventures, and music, and Cheerleading! (ages 3 to 12) and Sports Spectacular! weeks teach fundamentals through fun games and drills that cater to varying ages and aversions to vegetables. Special guests will make entertaining, educational visits on select days of certain weeks: live animals during Guppies to Puppies! week, firefighters during Who’s Your Hero? week, and Allan Quatermain during Super Safari! week. Camp themes vary by location.

Each session's hands-on activities keep the indefatigable energy-motors of tykes revving, facilitate bonding, and boost listening skills, attention spans, and confidence. A light snack will also be provided daily for health, refueling, and mutiny-prevention purposes. Check out the Lakeline camp schedule or the Austin South camp schedule to see which themes might complement your child’s interests. Space is limited, so call well in advance to reserve a spot.
