When I was a kid, I spent the first week of winter break baking cookies.\u00a0 I’d open my mom’s Betty Crocker cookbook and find my favorite recipes.\u00a0 I made a different type of cookie every day.\u00a0 Back then, we didn’t go to camp in the winter, but I had created my own holiday cookie camp.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today: my middle school kids want to spend their winter break playing Minecraft or Candy Crush.\u00a0 But I vow to make at least one batch of homemade cookies with my kids.\u00a0 I found a recipe for the Christmas Tree Cookie<\/a> online and took out the butter to soften.\u00a0 I bet there’s a holiday cookie camp somewhere out there, but it’s nice to have your own in-house camp.<\/p>\n

If baking isn’t your thing, you’ll find almost as much variety in winter camps<\/a> as summer camps.\u00a0 Jewelry making, aviation, robotics, and Spanish are just a few camps of the camps I see in my neighborhood.\u00a0 I hope they inspire the next generation to do what they love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
