Summer is almost here and my most awaited 2019 list of summer workshops, sports clinics, classes, and activities for kids in Metro Manila is finally here!  As a tradition, this will be updated regularly as more and more establishments create their own programs for toddlers, kids, teens, and even adults!

Get your kids off gadgets where they could chance upon terrible and inappropriate content and get them up and active by enrolling them in classes this summer.  Let's not keep their minds idle this upcoming vacation!

My kids are products of these summer activities and it worked well for them, especially my now teenager whom I enrolled in basketball clinics since he was 7 years old.  Now he's a high school basketball varsity player and I can't believe how much he's grown and developed his skills in this sport.  My second child was enrolled in arts and reading programs and he hasn't stopped drawing and reading since then.  My toddler is showing great interest painting, playing ball, and reading too.

Just make sure that you know which interests your children are leaning to so you'll be able to enroll them in workshops they will love and pursue growing up.  You may choose to enroll them to any on my list in this post.
