ICYMI: Family-Friendly News for Wilmington, DE: 1/27-2/2

Events, News & More

By Leslie Hudson, Wilmington-New Castle Macaroni KID Publisher January 30, 2025

It feels like we have reached the age where you blink and miss about 45 updates and news stories. So, I am starting a weekly column to help you stay in the loop. This will be an ongoing series - so let me know what you'd like to see here! 

P.S. Go Birds!


Congratulations, you did it.     

You made it through January, which had 900 days in it. Bring on the sunshine and summer vibes! It is hard to believe but summer camp registrations are open and filling up fast. We are putting the finishing touches on our camp guide. 

We aren't the only ones with summer on the brain - it's time to think about summer camps! Don't worry, we won't make you feel like you're up the creek without a paddle. 

There are two camp fairs this week:

Tower Hill Camp Fair - Wilmington - Today from 3:30 - 6:30 PM

Delaware Museum of Nature & Science: Summer Camp Fair

Plus, our camp guide is coming out this weekend!
