School is out for spring break and we are ready for a change of pace in our schedules for the coming week
Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana
Spring break has arrived! And while some families may be heading out of town, you certainly won’t be lacking for things to do if you are choosing to stay closer to home. Our growing-by-the-day list of things to do can be found right here at “what to do on spring break“. If you’re looking for spring break camps, there are a few of those still open, as well. Most of these offer day to day pricing so you do not have to commit for the week or anything.
Don’t forget about Daylight Savings this weekend! Clocks spring forward one hour before bed on Saturday!
