Wash your dog

Toronto

July 16 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Take your dog for a W-A-L-K down to Trinity Bellwoods Park for Paws for the Cause, a fundraiser for OVC Pet Trust Fund. There you can get your doggy cleaned up by local groomers for a donation (suggested $10). Paws for the Cause is a Toronto-based, non-profit organization.

Teach your kids about anatomy

Edmonton

Now until September 5

They may not hear you when they’re in front of the TV, but your kids will listen to Elmo, Oscar, Grover and the rest of their Sesame Street pals. The Sesame Street Presents: The Body exhibit is a hands-on experience for kids as they learn what keeps them healthy such as balanced meals and exercise, all while playing games and dancing. For ticket information go to the Telus World of Science website.

Send your kids to cooking camp

July 18 to 21

Charlottetown

Let them play with their food for once. The Kids "R" Kookin’ class is a four-day cooking camp for kids aged seven to 17. Plus, they get to wear a tall paper chef’s hat. How fun is that? It’s $299 and you can register your child at the Holland College Culinary Institute of Canada website. The best part? You don’t have to clean up after!

Get a quick spa treatment
