Written by |

Lake Travis Summer Camps Arts

It’s hard to believe the 2014/2015 school year has almost come to an end. This means one thing for most parents. You have to stop procrastinating and plan your summer. (Ouch!)

There are tons and tons of awesome summer camps for kids of all ages in the Lake Travis area, so in an effort to help you stay organized we’ve put together a handy Summer Camps Series.

Part 1 lists more than 60 different Art, Dance & Theater camps.

Part 2 includes Science, Hobbies & Sports camps. If you have little gamers or Jr. Imagineers, there’s a camp for that!

Although we’ve tried, we can’t possibly include every cool camp in the area. If we’ve missed one you love, please share it in the comments section on the Lake Travis Lifestyle Facebook page.

We also want to remind you to explore the wonderful camps offered by Lake Travis ISD and Leander ISD.

LTL Weekend April 24

Well, hello there weekend, it’s so nice to see you again! It seems the weather is kicking this Lake Travis weekend off with some heavy thunderstorms … and that’s not something we are going to complain about around here — we just hope it doesn’t bring another rogue hail storm through the area. That was crazy!

There’s a lot going on this weekend, so let’s get started …

The water is warming up and we have a couple of events taking place on the lakes. Check out the Lake Travis in the Water Boat Show at Crosswater Yacht Club or the Ladies First ATX Wakesurf Open at Ski Shores on Lake Austin.

Big city festivals are underway and there are plenty to choose from this weekend. The party starts on Friday with the Austin Food + Wine Festival and continues on Saturday with Eeyore’s 52nd Annual Birthday Party and the 65th Annual Art City Austin.

Get out there and enjoy! Here’s what else is on tap in and around Lake Travis this weekend:
