7 activities to commemorate the spring equinox
The beginning of spring is cause for celebra�on. In many areas of the world, the start of spring marks the end of cold temperatures and hours spent indoors, a shi� in condi�ons that is welcomed by millions each year.
Spring is a �me of rebirth when flowers and trees bloom anew and animals bear new young. Spring is an exci�ng and busy �me, and one that people can commemorate in many unique ways. Here are seven ideas to usher in spring this March.
1. Fill a home or business with flowers. Collect some early tulip or daffodil blooms and place them around the house. Offer bouquets of dandelions to children or weave them into flower crowns.
2. Spend �me in nature. It’ s �me to get outside, and there is no be�er �me to do so than the beginning of spring. Soak up the sun
and temperate climate, which can be good for your physical and mental well-being.
3. Visit a loved one. Bring some sunshine to an elderly rela�ve by visi�ng with him or her. Take a stroll outside or sit on a bench and enjoy a picnic.
4. Prepare the garden by cleaning out weeds and �lling the soil. Some early spring prepara�on ensures everything will be ready when plan�ng �me arrives.
5. Prepare an outdoor feast. Whether it’ s a picnic or a barbecue, serve up a warmweather feast with salads, sandwiches and other dishes that are normally served outdoors.
6. Sow some seeds. Encourage each member of your household to pick a favorite plant or flower and sow it in celebra�on of the first day of spring. It’ s possible to make a special spring garden with perennials that will bloom each year.
7. Make spring-related cra�s. Colorful wreaths, centerpieces and garlands can bring some of the natural wonders of spring indoors.
The first day of spring is an opportunity to enjoy what makes the season so special. Celebrate the new season with plenty of crea�ve ideas.
Questions to ask before enrolling in a summer camp
Millions of children spend a significant por�on of their summers at camp. The American Camp Associa�on reports that 26 million children enroll in summer camp each year, and many of those youngsters make memories that last a life�me while building lifelong friendships along the way. Camps have arguably become even more important in recent decades as more and more households have featured two working parents. Single-parent households also rely on summer camp to keep kids occupied and entertained while school is not in
session and Mom or Dad is working. Such situa�ons illustrate how important summer camp can be and underscore the significance of asking the right ques�ons before enrolling a child in camp. In addi�on to inquiring about hours of opera�on, insurance and pricing, parents can ask the following ques�ons before enrolling a child in summer camp.
What is the history of the camp?
SA camp that has been in business for decades is not necessarily superior to one that opened more recently, but it’ s s�ll
worth asking how long a camp has been around. It might be easier to determine if a given camp is what you’ re looking for if it’ s been around awhile. Such camps may have a significant number of Google reviews and may even provide tes�monials from past campers and parents. A camp that’ s been around awhile also can share informa�on regarding its return rate, which indicates the number of youngsters who have come back each summer. A strong return rate can indicate campers enjoy their experiences each summer.
