We live in a smallish community, but even here there are some nationally known programs that may also be available near you. When the boys were 1st grade, we did Camp Invention, USA Chess Camp, British Soccer Camp, local museum art classes, library reading incentive program and weekly crafts. Now we even have Missoula Children's Theater (weeklong outreach where kids act & at the end of the week they perform)--you may be able to look these things up and see if/when they're coming to your area. I also would take them to every museum in town and then some nearby towns (sometimes an overnight field trip). I suggest scouring the available programs in your area.
