Eat, Drink, Explore, Experience, Enjoy!
Summer in St. Louis has arrived and there is plenty to do in the Gateway City. Here are some of our suggestions for every member of the family. We have something for everyone!
- Create a memory or keepsake at YuCanDu Art Studio in Webster Groves. YuCanDu offers art camps, workshops, art parties and open studio time for getting in touch with your inner artist.
- Spend a couple of days at Trout Lodge YMCA of the Ozarks and let the adventure begin! Stay in a lakeside or woodside cabin or enjoy a guestroom in the lodge. Meals are family style and the fun is for everyone.
- Explore and experience the wonders of The Magic House St. Louis Children’s Museum in Kirkwood. Pack your imagination and enjoy special events, summer camps, art programs and family programs like Fitness Fun Fridays this summer.

Through hands-on challenges, authentic artifacts and guidance from real archaeologists, visitors will unearth the mysteries of Egypt, its culture and its people.
