  2. Hi-
    We just moved to Laredo. My daughter really wants to do gymnastics but I am having a difficult time finding a class at night or on the weekends. Or any summer camps/fun classes at night or on the weekend. My husband and I both work during the day, so unfortunatly, day classes are just not possible. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    • Jennifer- Goodness- I remember those days! Dual-working parents have a hard time finding activities to bring kids to often….Will pose your question on the C&C Facebook Fan Page to see if anyone has any answers!

  3. Thank you once again for offering this wonderful service to parents. So many wonderful camps to choose from. It makes me with I were a kids again! Enjoy your summer :)

    • Lindsey- I’m only aware of what’s in the Summer Camp list….will check around. If I find anything, it will be posted on the page you’re on. :)
