What To Do With The Kids When They're On School Break - High Velocity Sports

Next week is Thanksgiving break, and soon-thereafter the kids will be off for the holiday's. Some families will be looking for a place for their kids to go, and others may just want a few hours of quiet without restless kids whining and meandering through the household. But what's a parent to do???

I found this idea on-line and thought to pass it along. High Velocity Sports in Canton has "Fun Days" at their facility (46245 Michigan Ave., Canton, MI 48188)for kids ages 5 - 12 costing parents $5/hour. The days run from 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Kids will play a multitude of sports including soccer, flag football, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, kickball, and much more... Hot lunches are also available for purchase on site! it's an active kids dream for when they're not in school and all activities are done in a heated indoor arena when the snow may be blowing outside!
