In a series of posts, we will feature fabulous recommendations of places to go and things to do around the Bay Area from members of Kin community. This one is from Prathima, one of Kin’s cofounders who takes a trip down memory lane while talking about her favorite summer camp and wraps it up with a giveaway!

While I was very lucky to have grown up with my grandparents who would take care of me and my sister while my parents were at work, the reality is different for my kids, here in the US, who need to be enrolled in summer camps!

Here are all the things we intend to do and some of the things we have done as a family. If I were to choose an activity that I would do more and more of in summer, it would be movies in the park. There is something about watching movies after dark, under the stars. There is an excellent lineup of outdoor, family-friendly movies in the coming weeks. We certainly will be catching at least a couple of them. A better option would be to make it an outing with friends,
