AUSTIN, Texas — Summer is right around the corner and there are many ways you can keep your kids entertained while they're out of school.
There are a lot of fun summer camps for kids of all ages in and around Austin. We found a wonderful camp in South Austin where kids can explore their creative side.

Bethany Hegedus, who is the creative director at the writing barn, said writing isn't the only thing campers will get to do.
"They'll focus on character creation, they'll get do some nature walks and some nature writing and they'll get to play with poetry and blackout poetry," she said. "You have some outdoor time. It gets hot here in the summer, so you have a lot of air-conditioned time when you need it. Your kids are going to have a great time."
