Weekly Activities for Kids in RVA: Summer Edition

Wouldn’t getting out with your kids be so much easier if you had a list of activity options by day at your fingertips? Included in this guide are both free and paid drop in class and activity options, mainly for kids 6 & under. I hope this helps simplify parenting and getting out with your kiddos just a little bit!
