Between our signature events, like Movies by Moonlight and Sounds on the Town, and the various activities our retailers have planned, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. So, say goodbye to summer boredom. Here are five family-friendly events coming up that you won’t want to miss.
Get Crafty at Kids Art Camp at Paper Source
Kids Art Camp at Paper Source is a great, creative way for children to spend their summer mornings. This week-long experience is perfect for junior crafters, where they will be encouraged to discover, design and create with a variety of different materials. Classes run for two hours every Monday-Friday and ages 6+ are encouraged to join. The Easton Paper Source also offers other great workshops all summer long like hand lettering hacks and water coloring workshops.

Take Off the Training Wheels at REI
The summer weather makes it the perfect season for family bike rides. Easton REI’s “How to Ride a Bike” event for ages 4-7 offers instructors with activities that help young riders overcome fears and learn important skills. Make sure your child brings their own bike and watch them be training-wheel free for the summer in no time! This event is offered on July 7th from 9am-11am; stay updated on REI’s event page for similar upcoming events.

Activate your Imagination at an L.L. Bean Storytime
“Tent Tales for Tykes” at the Easton L.L.Bean explores a different nature or outdoor theme each session and is followed by related activities, games or crafts. The story times are recommended for children ages 3-6. Parents are welcome to join in the fun or spend time shopping around the store!
Take a Cooking Class at Williams-Sonoma or Sur la Table

At Sur la Table, young chefs can learn how to make all their favorite summertime foods from scratch during the Kids’ Cooking Series. This 3 or 5-day experience is the perfect way to immerse your child in all things cooking!
