Feb. 21: Take The Kids Out for Some Fun

To kick off President's Week while your home with the kids, here are some exciting events happening in the area today.

1. : Encourage your kids to put their week off to good use by participating in this baseball training clinic. This 4-day camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to grades K-7. It will keep them from bouncing off the walls at home too. Win-win.

2. : To keep your youngster entertained, head down to the Monter Early Childhood Center at , where they're hosting Winter Animal Week. Open to 3- and 4-year-olds, this program lets kids explore polar bears, penguins and other exciting Arctic animals. A daily craft is included. You can register for one day or the whole week, the choice is yours.

3. : For a fun outdoor activity, hit the ice at the skating rink at Tanger Outlets at the Arches. Today from 4-7 p.m. is cheapskate—admission and skate rental costs only $7.

4. : Start off your week in Zen. This mother-child class, held every Monday at 9:30 a.m. at Simplicity Yoga, teaches relaxing tandem poses. If you ask us, $15 for some relaxation is well worth it.

5. : It's that time again...we're seeking Whiz Kid nominations. If you know of a teen or child who has gone above and beyond and deserves to be recognized, email Kaitlyn.Piccoli@patch.com
