School is almost out for spring break and we are ready for a change of pace in our schedules for the coming week

Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

Spring break has arrived! And while some families may be heading out of town, you certainly won’t be lacking for things to do if you are choosing to stay closer to home. Our growing-by-the-day list of things to do can be found right here at “what to do on spring break“. If you’re looking for spring break camps, there are a few of those still open, as well. Most of these offer day to day pricing so you do not have to commit for the week or anything. You can also plan a day trip, as we have so many great ones to choose from, all year long!

Chambanamoms thanks United Way of Champaign County for presenting this weekend’s planner.
