Volunteering at pet centers or the vet is a real eye opening e experience for kids and parents alike. We’ve moved quite a bit over the years – Houston, Denver, Dallas, Tulsa, Austin…. and so every time I call around. We have one that wants to be a vet now!
Your imagination is the limit! Call and ask. Most companies are excited to have someone interested in what they do all day! We take this into consideration when we travel as well. Once in Morocco, the kids helped the local kasbah baker bake bread. Now THAT was awesome and of course we had to compare and contrast the experience there vs the experience we had our local bakery. I taught language arts for 15 years in the public school system and my favorite activities after any outing involve writing! 🙂
