Summer is here! It’s that time of the year when school’s out and you have the kids all to yourself. They might have their own plans during their vacation like playing with their toys, watching their favorite shows and read their summer material but these things can turn out to be boring after a while. Summer is the perfect opportunity to hone their skills, try something new and exciting and discover potential — all the while having fun!

For this summer of 2019, companies, organizations and campaigns from Metro Manila and beyond have several activities for children and their families to try — and they’re all in this list!

Go on and plan your summer adventures!
