Some events are just for kids, some are family-friendly, and some activities render themselves perfect for kids of all ages. This list of Fun Activities for You & Your Kids offers suggestions that are worth checking out. Here's why...

Parent Night Out, Kids at Camp
is definitely a fun activity for you and your kids, but not together. South Mountain YMCA is hosting a Kids at Camp Night for children ages 6-12. SMYMCA will entertain your kids with classic camp activities from 6-9pm. What will you do with the free time? Whatever you like, after all, it's your night out. $15 per child. Contact Amanda for information and registration at 610-670-2267.
April 28-30
Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan at Albright College's Center for the Arts offers swashbuckling entertainment. Multiple performances throughout the weekend allow you to pick a convenient time to enjoy the classic production about Frederic, an apprentice to a band of pirates. Frederic disavows the pirates’ way of life for love. But of course, things are never this simple and soon mayhem ensues.
