STAYCATION
Destinations for You and Your Kids
F SELAH MAYA ZIGHELBOIM | JE STAFF
OR KIDS, SUMMER means three months of freedom
from school and homework, and three months of freedom
to run around in the sun or probably just stare fi xedly into
the glare of their many screens.

For the parents or grandparents tasked with entertaining
these kids, summer might look more like the freedom to Google
how to keep children busy for days on end. But fear not. Check
out the Jewish Exponent’s list of just some of the staycation pos-
sibilities the Philadelphia area off ers — all just a short drive away
(and some of them are free).
