Creative Tutors of Allen-Lovejoy
Special needs kids now have an amusement park that caters just to them! It is Morgan's Wonderland in San Antonio, where all rides are wheelchair accessible and there is even a sensory village. The park has a capacity of only 1,000 people so be sure and call ahead (210-637-3434) or go online at morganswonderland.com to get a reservation. People with special needs attend free and family members pay $5.00. What a great park to have so close to the Dallas/Ft. Worth! Enjoy!
Does your child love animals? Then Critter Camp may be the place for them this summer. The SPCA of Dallas and McKinney offer week long day camps for children 8-11. The goal of the camp is for campers to learn the basics of animal care and hear how rescue teams work to stop animal cruelty. It also teaches students how to make a difference in their own neighborhoods and communities. There are lots of activites and games to help them learn more about animals! The first session is June 7-11 and the camps run each week of summer until the week of Aug. 6th. For more information you may call 214-461-1811 or e-mail education@spca.org.
