    • Summer Activities for Kids Around Castle Rock, Colorado

    Parenting
    Posted: June 29, 2022

    We are well into summer and if you have kiddos out on summer break, this is for you! We have many therapists at Authentic Connections Counseling Center who are parents and are juggling the summer with a mixed bag of emotions along with our kiddos too. We love the weather and lots of activities to engage in but the lack of structure and schedule makes us all a little frazzled and somewhat cranky at times. So we thought it would be helpful to put out a list of activities to enjoy and have it all in one place in case you have a “I have to get the kids out of the house right now and do something” moment.  Leave us a post on social media to let us know your favorite one!

    If you are needing more help than planning activities, we are here to support you and help navigate the deeper stuff. Give us a call. 720-370-3010 x100

    Here are some fun activities around the area for you to check out:
