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!

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.
