Finding free kid friendly activities and summer camps locally can be time consuming. A parent from Redwood City community built a free App for parents that brings together discoverability of events from libraries, parks & recreation and community organizations. Search for storytimes, art classes, STEM workshops, sports programs, summer camps and much more - all filtered by your child’s age and city. If you have ever wished you had a single place to discover what’s happening for kids near you, that’s exactly what Banavu Kids Activities Finder App is. It’s free, it’s local, it’s private and it was made by a parent who lives in this community. Download it on the Apple App Store HERE
