A list of available summer workshops and activities in the metro

MANILA, Philippines – The academic year has ended (or is about to end for the case of some) for the schools here in the Philippines and kids, as well as teens, are faced with a dilemma – what to do in the coming weeks.

The challenge isn’t only for students who suddenly find themselves with a good number of free days but for the parents as well. While getting in a bit of quality time with the family is well and good, it’s also good for kids to go out and about and explore – all the better if they have fun and learn something new in the process.

Parents often turn to workshops and other educational summer activities to give their kids something to do that will help them develop new skill sets or improve their talents. Such activities not only keep kids from being glued to either a television or computer screen all day, they ensure that kids will have something good to share with their classmates in June when they’re asked how their summer was.

We’ve rounded up some of the summer workshops and activities available for kids, teens, and even adults, for a fun and poductive summer:
