When school’s out, it can be hard to find enough good things for your kids to do.
Here’s a local guide that several of us have put together. It includes two very different directories that Somerville parents Melanie Campbell and Consuelo Perez created on their own, some notes on summer camps by Linda Conte, a guide from the School Department, and a searchable Boston area directory.
Our group, which consists of Melanie, Linda, Kathy Moore, and me, has plans to make this directory bigger and better. If you have a suggestion, please leave it as a comment on this post. If you’d like to join us, send me a note: ajehlen at gmail.com.

Thanks to everyone who compiled all the information.
I had a few questions about Art in the Garden. Is it running this year? Who do you contact for more information, such as the start/end date for the program?

It’s a program of the Somerville Arts Council. My kids have gone for multiple years and really enjoyed it.
The only downside is that if you’re using it for care you need to have the flexibility to pick up quickly in the case of rain, heat, etc., as it is outside in the Community Growing Center on Vinal Ave. Also, it’s first come, first served … meaning if they get too many kids that day, yours can’t stay without a parent/other adult.
