Children's Summer Programs

The youth of Davis rejoice the coming of summer. Teens often enjoy a substantial increase in the number of available parking spaces downtown. But inevitably, boredom strikes, parents start pulling out their own hair, chaos ensues.... But this can be avoided by enrolling in summer programs. Most are fee-based.
