Congrats on surviving one of the most challenging school years ever! Whether you juggled working from home and distance learning with your kids or tucked a back-up mask into their backpack each morning, you deserve all the hot fudge sundaes this summer.

That’s right, we’re headed into summer. Where your kids have no structured activities.

Before you panic about your kids screaming the B-word (“bored”) two days into summer break, we have just the remedy that will keep them excited, engaged, and best of all, occupied. Outschool’s diverse selection of online classes and camps provides a socially distant solution for fun and learning outside of the classroom. (You don’t even have to tell your kids about the learning part.)

A Buffet Of Exciting Experiences

As a parent, you want to nurture your kids’ development by encouraging them to try new things and deep dive into their passions. However, you don’t always have the know-how (or time or energy) to guide your children in their new adventures.

Outschool makes it easy for you to inspire your children’s curiosity. Their teachers lead activities and projects in live online classes to help them develop new skills or fill in the gaps in just about any topic you can think of. With over 100,000 classes available for kids ages 3-18, Outschool serves what feels like a limitless buffet of adventures, including art, dance, writing, coding — even life skills like cooking and money management.

Instead of your eyes glazing over when your kids recount their latest Minecraft adventures (again), sign them up for the Woodland Mansion Murder Mystery: An Immersive Minecraft Escape Room, where they’ll join other learners in an exciting Minecraft escape room challenge that requires logic, social skills, critical thinking, math, and teamwork to free their team. Or expand their interest in architecture via Epic Weekly Builds in Minecraft Creative- Math, Geography & Architecture, an instructor-guided creative building course that teaches kids about one famous building or structure per week.

Classes encourage social interaction with your child’s peers in a safe environment so they’re not missing out on important soft skills. Outschool sets your child’s talent and curiosity free (and gives you a break from yet another lesson on the benefits of redstone).

Pat yourself on the back for a major parenting win.

Summer Camps Your Kid Will Love

It can be a struggle to keep your kids engaged during the summer. You want them to have fun, but you also want to inspire them intellectually. Outschool Summer Camps give them the best of both worlds.

Mix and match interactive classes to design a custom summer adventure for your child. Outschool teachers offer classes that will spark creativity and reinforce important academic skills at the same time. Yes, they’ll even make multiplication fun.

Aspiring artist? Try out Biggie Ron’s Pokemon Drawing Club, where your child can learn how to draw their favorite characters from scratch. Or sign your future social media star up for Ukulele Boot Camp for Beginners so they can learn how to jam Broadway tunes on the ukulele. (Make sure you record it so you can embarrass them in front of their prom date in the future.)

Future explorer? Take a virtual field trip to Machu Picchu and learn basic Spanish at the same time in Hola! Let’s Travel to Machu Picchu in Peru – Spanish for Beginners. You’ll have travel envy that your kid gets to explore one of the Seven Wonders of the World while you’re busy catching up on work calls and folding laundry. But hey, at least you won’t be hearing that dreaded B-word.

Encourage your child to learn a new hobby with Outschool, all from the comfort of their computer or tablet. You’ll be so proud when they kick your butt in a game of chess after taking Chess for Beginners. There’s even a breakfast baking club called Meet Me for Breakfast: An Ongoing Cooking and Baking Club, in case you’d like to subtly suggest that breakfast in bed is an excellent gift idea.

Keep An Easy Breezy Summer

One of the best parts about Outschool is that it works for your schedule whether you’re staying close to home base this summer or packing up the family for an extended road trip. With ongoing classes that are available on multiple dates and times, you simply choose whatever works best for your family’s schedule.

Once you’ve nailed down which classes your child wants to take, all you need is a laptop to start your camp fun. All classes are remote, so your child can learn all about sharks during your beach getaway or hone their skills at drawing anime characters from under the oak tree in your backyard.

Let Outschool Be Your Secret Weapon Against Boredom

Keeping your kids engaged this summer shouldn’t be stressful. You won’t have to worry about hearing “Mom, I’m bored!” as long as you have Outschool in your virtual back pocket.
