Each Summer I always try to prepare myself and my schedule for as many free and cheap things as possible. It seems like ages ago since we went to a movie but with these Kids Summer Movie Schedules you are sure to find some great flicks this Summer!
Even if you are traveling on vacation you can still find a kids Summer Movie near you if you look at one of these locations! Some locations offer FREE movies for reading a book while others offer a kids meal pack and movie for under $5!

We love taking advantage of various Summer Reading Club programs from a variety of different libraries. Since I look up lots of different Summer Reading Club dates and activities I thought I would share those with my loyal local readers! Our family usually takes part in a handful of programs at various library locations around the Miami Valley but I am always looking for more free family friendly events especially for my teens. (Edited: With the limitations put on libraries and parks due to the coronavirus I thought I better update this post every couple of weeks during 2020)
Each Summer I build our calendar around the free programs that I find and Summer Reading Club programs are a big part in our fun! I am loving all the variety of programs the libraries I have contacted so far have told me about from STEM to music to art. We also make sure to prepare Summer Reading spaces as soon as the weather is warm and are sure to look up the Kids Summer Movie schedule.

Spring and Summer bring many days with great weather which beckons my children outdoors. Since we have been participating in a Primitive Skills class this school year I thought it would be good to practice outdoor skills and survival skills with books for kids.
Some books on this list are novels that include outdoor and survival skills that kids use while other will be focus on skills for kids. I have taught my older children how to start a fire in our fire pit in the backyard but it’s time our younger boys learn how and why a fire is important even on a 90 degree day if you are camping!

Just across the street from Dayton Children’s Hospital and next to the Ronald McDonald House a wonderful surprise awaits! The Children’s Garden Play Space is a very welcoming addition to the hospital complex.
The park is filled with fun and exciting activities for all ages that center around a garden theme. Right away you are greeted by a jumbo caterpillar and butterfly. Eldest (14 years old at the time) is standing underneath the gateway to give you an idea of the scale of that caterpillar!
