I have a 10 year old son who is too old for day care, but too young to stay alone. I need a safe, fun, summer day camp in the Des Moines, Iowa area. What does a mom do during summer breaks! Any ideas? Thanks.
The YMCA offers summer day camps to members and non-members. I received a mailing from the Waukee Y, and it looks like they play to a variety of interests and needs. Hope that helps!
Dojo's Family Martial Arts in Ankeny offers a week long Karate Camp in the summer. I'm not sure if this year's camp has been scheduled yet, so don't know when it will be, but the kids have a BLAST and learn self discipline and fitness while there having fun. They do actual karate classes during each day's camp! It's a very positive atmosphere.
Good Luck!
