10 Virtual STEAM Summer Camps for Kids 2021

Summer is a great time for kids to unwind, relax, engage in free play, have fun with friends, meet extended family and go on exciting vacations. It is also a time to learn something new, pick up a useful skill or try out an activity.

Covid has given rise to a number of fun virtual activities and the trend is still alive this summer. Virtual activities are convenient, easily accessible and flexible and they save parents the trouble of driving kids to activities.
