This Week: Affordable February Break Camps, DIY Winter Olympics Party, Best February Kids' Events in the Tri-State Area
This post contains no references to snow, sleet, slush or ice. That's our promise to you on yet another freezing winter's day! Instead, we'll warm you up (figuratively speaking) by linking to the hottest family events this February in NYC, Westchester, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut and beyond.
The February midwinter break is coming up quick for NYC public school students, so we rounded up 10 inexpensive camps in case you're in need of child care. Got the week off? Our NYC Day Trip Guide features lots of wonderful local getaways for families and our Winter Guide is chock-full of seasonal activities, from ice-skating, sledding, skiing and snow tubing (sorry—we broke our promise and mentioned snow), plus cool kids' culture like the best theater shows and museum exhibits.
Another great thing to do over midwinter recess? Try some of our fun and easy WeeWork projects. In fact, it just might win you tickets to Baby Loves Disco. Every week from now through April 11, we're giving away a family four-pack to this family dance party. All you need to do is share a photo of a completed WeeWork project on social media. Get all the details on our giveaway page.
Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:
