hunts. </p><p> </p><p>Last year, I wrote an extremely popular step-by-step article showing how to <a href="https://charlotte.kidsoutandabout.com/content/turn-easter-treasure-hunt" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><strong>Turn Easter Into a Treasure Hunt</strong></a>, complete with <a href="https://www.kidsoutandabout.com/content/turn-easter-treasure-hunt" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:

And if you want to kick it up a notch and invite a crowd, our article <a href="https://charlotte.kidsoutandabout.com/content/easter-egg-hunts-tips-and-tricks-great-party" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><strong>Easter Egg Hunts: Tips and Tricks for a Great Party</strong></a> lays out the
strategies for what may be the easiest, fastest, best-bang-for-the-buck kids’ party on Earth. Sure, egg hunts feature prominently in our culture's Easter traditions, but they needn't belong only to Easter, they're a wonderful diversion anytime, in any context.</p><p> </p><p>Spring is a season that proves there’s treasure everywhere.

Small Hands Big Art Summer Camps give kids a true fine-art experience—not a one-size-fits-all craft camp. In our Mixed Media Art Camps, young artists explore painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, collage, and pastels while learning how artists think, experiment, and bring ideas to life. In our Pottery Camps, kids build, shape, and spin real clay using handbuilding techniques (and even try the pottery wheel at our Waverly studio!). Every project is thoughtfully guided by experienced art educators and designed to build confidence, creativity, and independence. Choose half-day Art or Pottery camps, or our popular full-day Art + Pottery combo. Ages 4–12. Small Hands Big Art - Waverly Small Hands Big Art - Fort Mill</div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>Before I had kids, one of my colleagues told me that fundamentally, a parent’s job is to point. At first, you point physically: You point at the waterfall and say “waterfall,” at the moon and say “moon,” at the flower and say “flower.” You’re helping a child connect sounds to objects, words to concepts, language to reality. But later, and really all the way through, the
pointing becomes more metaphorical. Parenting is the ongoing work of connecting your child’s growing capacity to understand with a world that is, to them, forever expanding. As I had Madison and Ella, I came to think of this as being a tour guide to the world.</p><p> </p><p>A good tour guide needs to know the landscape, of course. But even more important, a good tour guide needs to know the traveler. What can this particular child see right now? What are they ready for? What do they care
about? What frightens them? What delights them? It's useful to remember that kids haven’t actually been here before: The world is brand-new to them over and over again, so what feels ordinary to us is often astonishing to a child. Tour guides who are doing their job well pay close attention to who their audience is and what they know, and that makes the pointing easier and more fun.</p><p> </p><p>Spring is the perfect season to practice pointing. In spring, the world changes fast enough for
kids to notice. Buds swell and burst. Birds return. Tiny green things push up through the dirt as if by magic. Day to day, the world becomes visibly more alive. If we point it out, kids can catch it happening in real time.</p><p> </p><p>And spring does not arrive quietly. It comes as an avalanche of the senses: color, smell, birdsong, mud, wind, sunlight, thunder, petals, pollen, rushing water. So maybe that’s part of the job, too: not just to point, but to lean into it. To stand beside our
kids in the rush of it all and say, <i>Look! Here it comes</i>.</p><p> </p><p><br/>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of<a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u> </u><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>The first time I can remember having to take a public stand on anything was in eighth grade English. We were assigned an essay on a controversial topic and told we’d present our arguments to the class. When he handed back our papers, Mr. Schmidt added a twist: no reading. We’d speak from notes.</p><p>I was horrified. After school, I tried to negotiate my way out of it. “This
makes me really uncomfortable,” I told him, hoping for mercy. He looked at me over his glasses. “That’s the whole point,” he said. “To get stuff done, you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Don’t worry, you’ll live.”</p><p> </p><p>Mr. Schmidt was right. I didn’t die. And more important, I learned something that stuck: Discomfort isn’t a stop sign, it’s just part of the road, and all roads are bumpy.</p><p> </p><p>That lesson shaped how I've raised my kids, too. Karate helped
Madison and Ella distinguish between effort and injury. Long car rides taught them to rely on their own imaginations. Theater nudged them to stand however close to the spotlight they could manage, even when they’d rather disappear. And summer camps—those muddy, unpredictable, gloriously imperfect experiences—gave them countless chances to try something new and realize <i>I can do this</i> without the stigma that can accompany failing in other contexts.</p><p> </p><p>Growth rarely happens
inside the comfort zone, which is why I’m such a believer in giving kids opportunities to stretch beyond what feels easy. Summer programs are perfect for this, so that's why during "summer camp search season" we focus on showcasing the wide variety of camps and programs available in each area we serve. <a href="https://charlotte.kidsoutandabout.com/content/guide-summer-camps-charlotte-nc-area" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank">Here's the link
to the portal page</a>.</p><p> </p><p>These days, as we approach the 25th anniversary of KidsOutAndAbout.com in June, I see that same principle playing out: The technology has changed, the business climate has changed, but the equation hasn’t. Discomfort still shows up right before something meaningful. And I still hear Mr. Schmidt’s voice in my head: <i>Don’t worry, you’ll live.</i></p><p> </p><p><br/>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of<a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u> </u><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

Small Hands Big Art Summer Camps give kids a true fine-art experience—not a one-size-fits-all craft camp. In our Mixed Media Art Camps, young artists explore painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking,
collage, and pastels while learning how artists think, experiment, and bring ideas to life. In our Pottery Camps, kids build, shape, and spin real clay using handbuilding techniques (and even try the pottery wheel at our Waverly studio!). Every project is thoughtfully guided by experienced art educators and designed to build confidence, creativity, and independence. Choose half-day Art or Pottery camps, or our popular full-day Art + Pottery combo. Ages 4–12.

Small Hands Big Art Summer Camps give kids a true fine-art experience—not a one-size-fits-all craft camp. In our Mixed Media Art Camps, young artists explore painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking,
collage, and pastels while learning how artists think, experiment, and bring ideas to life. In our Pottery Camps, kids build, shape, and spin real clay using handbuilding techniques (and even try the pottery wheel at our Waverly studio!). Every project is thoughtfully guided by experienced art educators and designed to build confidence, creativity, and independence. Choose half-day Art or Pottery camps, or our popular full-day Art + Pottery combo. Ages 4–12.

Local summer camps have pulled out all the stops to ensure your kids have a great time.<br/><br/>After getting inspired by the camp descriptions below with programs for preschoolers through teens, head over to
our <a href="https://charlotte.kidsoutandabout.com/content/guide-summer-camps-charlotte-nc-area" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u>Week by Week Guide to Summer Camps</u></a> and what's been posted so far for 2026. Bookmark that main portal page to get where you need to go quickly to search by date or subject. New camps are being added constantly, so check back frequently.</p><p> </p><p>I hope you enjoy our special-edition camp
newsletter, and that you forward it to your friends who may also be shopping for summer camps. We'll be back with your regularly-scheduled weekly newsletter on Thursday!<br/> </p><p>Note: So many local camps wanted to participate in this newsletter that we have divided it into Part 1 (for the first half of the alphabet) and Part 2 (second half of the alphabet), which will arrive shortly.<br/> </p><p>—<a href="mailto:ross@kidsoutandabout.com?subject=Publisher%27s%20column" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;"><u>Debra Ross</u></a>, publisher</p></div></div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>For much of the country this year, March simultaneously is bringing hope that spring may in fact return to North America AND the awareness that every car is at risk for the foreseeable future. All winter long, water seeps into asphalt cracks, freezes, expands, melts, and freezes again, and bit by bit the driving experience becomes a game called <i>Avoid the
Crater. </i></p><p> </p><p>But lately I’ve started seeing the repair trucks out there again, their bright-vested workers moving methodically from hole to hole with their shovels. Every time I pass them, it gives me a lift, not just because it means someday soon I'll start seeing flowers out in the real world, but also because potholes are one of those perfect reminders of what humans do. Playrooms, projects, and paperwork start out neat, but over time, weather, wear, gravity, and
procrastination take their toll. No matter how strict the system, order gradually slides toward chaos. And then humans step in and make it right again.</p><p> </p><p>I saw the cycle in action at the KidsOutAndAbout office last week: Our storage room had slowly become a museum of random supplies, half-filled bins, and Christmas decorations that had been tossed in with a hopeful <i>Future Us will deal with this someday</i>. Fortunately, my colleague Michelle, who works in our data department,
is also a genius organizer. A few hours after Future Michelle stepped in and applied logic and elbow grease, the little room had transformed from a cluttered cave into a serene space.</p><p> </p><p>The quickening of the seasons seems to bring that same energy into our homes: Closets get sorted, garages get swept, junk drawers finally meet their match. It feels good, not just because the space looks better, but because fixing things reminds us of something important: Disorder is normal, but
it’s not permanent. Humans can step in and bring brightness back.</p><p> </p><p>So here’s to spring cleaning, organized shelves, and freshly patched roads.</p><p>Our tires, and our spirits, roll much more smoothly because humans fill potholes.</p><p> </p><p><br/>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of<a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u> </u><i><u>The Eclipse

a supportive, hands-on environment.
Learn classic bluegrass songs by ear and by heart. Explore rhythm, melody, and harmony through fun games and jam sessions. Take turns playing solos and learn to listen as part of a band. Build confidence performing in a friendly setting and make new friends who love music.
No prior experience needed—beginners and intermediate players are welcome. Camp ends with a fun showcase performance for family and friends.</div>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:</p><p> </p><p>When I was a teenager, I had a teacher who became a mentor without ever knowing he was one. He was aware I’d been going through some difficult times, and was glad to hear I was almost on the other side. “Some people aren't lucky enough to have dealt with hard things when they're young,” he told me. Then he added the phrase that has echoed in my head for decades: “Remember the
rocks.”</p><p> </p><p>Life, he explained, was always going to toss boulders into my path. The trick was to recognize, early, that even if it was painful or scary, I was capable of getting around, or over, or through them. Remembering how I’d managed would help me trust myself more when the next, bigger ones appeared.</p><p> </p><p>As a parent, I think about that often, about how the only way to become someone who does hard things is… to do hard things.</p><p> </p><p>It’s tempting
to rush in and smooth every unpleasant obstacle our kids encounter. When we email the teacher, mend the friendship, rescue the forgotten homework, eliminate every discomfort, we may feel helpful in the moment, but in fact we’re quietly removing the practice stones they need. Resilience doesn’t come from being told “You’re strong”; it comes from evidence that only they can gather, from working through manageable challenges and thinking, <i>That was hard. And I handled it.</i> We don’t need to
manufacture their challenges—being a kid is difficult enough. And we don’t abandon them to do it all on their own, either. We just learn to pause, to weigh advice against intervention, and to let them see what they can manage.</p><p> </p><p>The goal is that later in life, when something truly difficult lands in our children's path, they won’t just <i>hope</i> they can manage it, they’ll <i>know</i>. Now, many years later, when I encounter something daunting, I think back to my mentor and
remember the rocks. "I do hard things," I tell myself. And it works.<br/> </p><p><br/>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of<a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u> </u><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

Filling 80,000 square feet at
Independence Hall in the Park Expo & Conference Center, the sale features more than 100,000 items—clothing, toys, baby gear, books, furniture, and more—enough clothing to stretch over half a mile on a single rack. Consignors earn 60–78% of sales, far more than typical shops. With free parking, free admission, VIP presale options, and payment flexibility, TTB KidZ is the ultimate one‑stop seasonal shop.</div>

self-confidence and helps teach them to trust their own judgment. As a result, Steve & Kate’s enables kids to express themselves freely. The counselors not only advocate, but celebrate children discovering and expressing their true selves by creating an enriching environment and providing a space where children feel included and safe. This experience ultimately helps prepare campers to tackle the challenges of the ever- changing world with creativity and
confidence. </p></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

<div class="definition-parent"><div class="text-element"><p>Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:<br/> </p><p>The February my daughter Ella was 1, she caught a cold that lingered for months. There were short stretches of relief, but mostly there was congestion, disrupted sleep, and a level of crankiness that turned my sunny baby into someone I barely recognized. The clouds around her felt constant, and one day, I caught myself labeling her in my head as “the crabby one.” But of course,
if <i>I</i> had a perpetually runny nose and no way to manage it, I’d be irritable, too! I needed to remember this wasn’t her personality, it was a <i>season</i>. What we needed to get through it was distraction: something fun to do "right now" and also fun things to anticipate<i>.</i></p><p> </p><p>Aside from those who live in paradise pockets like San Diego, most of our readers are in the thick of a particularly dreary winter. The world feels heavy and gray, energy runs low, and
it’s easy to fixate on how dispirited we feel. But we need to remember that this isn't our personality, it's a <i>season</i>. What we need to get through it is distraction in the moment and also something positive we can place on our horizon.</p><p> </p><p style="text-align:left;">My family is counting down to the March 20 release of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hail_Mary_(film)" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:
currentcolor;" target="_blank"> <i><u>Project Hail Mary</u></i></a>, which stars Ryan Gosling. The movie is based on<a href="https://amzn.to/4kTyxy9" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"> <u>the novel by Andy Weir</u></a>, who also wrote<a href="https://amzn.to/3OLo8bH" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"> <i><u>The Martian</u></i></a>. You don't have to be a science nerd to love Weir's books
(although science nerds DO love Weir's books), because in all of them, the real hero is human ingenuity—curiosity, flexible thinking, doing what needs to be done even in extreme circumstances. When things are going awry, the answer isn’t despair, it’s problem-solving, and I always emerge from a Weir book feeling spiritually lighter.</p><p> </p><p>While I immerse myself in Weir and Gosling, you, of course, should do YOU! Let the art or sport that grabs you and your kids be your launch ticket
to optimism now, and lift you to fun in the future. We're glad to provide the fuel!</p><p><br/>—<u>Debra Ross</u>, publisher of KidsOutAndAbout.com, co-author of<a href="https://theeclipseeffect.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" target="_blank"><u> </u><i><u>The Eclipse Effect: How to Seize Extraordinary Moments to Build Strong Communities</u></i></a></p></div></div>

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, we’ll
examine how African American service members have shaped, and been shaped by, the nation they served. Join us for a full day of thought-provoking panels, engaging speakers, powerful performances, vibrant art, and local vendors and organizations, all centered around the legacy of Black military contributions. From the Revolution to present day, we’ll reflect on themes of service, sacrifice, and the ongoing pursuit of freedom and equality. Free with museum admission. All are welcome to attend and
take part in this celebration of heritage,…</div>
