Camp Warner Bros. is in effect through mid August

97 out of 100 summer camps have been cancelled. To compensate for that some brands have really stepped up to give parents a break in certain areas. Camp Warner Bros. starts this week. In addition to introducing you and your family to potentially new entertainment they’ll have weekly activities that were created around certain releases.

This week has Super Hero Training, which is something any parent can relate to and might need help with. Granted, part of that could be a distraction and parents know that an entertaining distraction is far different than just a diversion for children. LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters is celebrating its release and is certain to entertain LEGO, DC or audiences aged 5 and up that want to laugh and have fun.

For example, here’s the Batman Workout that kids will certainly get a laugh out of. It’s geared towards those young children who’ll be able to find Batman or who want to fight crime in their backyard.

Here’s the schedule for Camp Warner Bros. this summer. There’s something for any camper, so pay loose attention.

Week 1: Super Hero Training, LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters

Week2: DIY Crystal Gems, Steven Universe: The Movie

Week 3: Gummy Bear Slime, We Bare Bears: The Movie

Week 4: Cooking & Coloring, Scoody-Doo and the WrestleMania Mystery

Week 5: Character Bank, Teen Titan’s Go! Vs. Teen Titans

Week 6: Summer Goals, Alex and Me

Week 7: Drive in Movie, The Fast and the Furry

Week 8: Talent Show, Family Matters: Season 1

LEGO DC: Shazam! Magic and Monsters is available now for those growing superheroes who need great entertainment.

Jorvik Calling, a Star Riders joint for equine adventure girls

Is your StarFam calling out to you? If you don’t have a girl aged 8-17 then “StarFam” Star Stable or Jorvik could be a foreign language. It was for us, and then I dug into it and found out that the game has been massively popular since 2012 as a safe, online gaming opportunity for girls that weaves in horses, adventure and magical elements. In short, it’s a gaming juggernaut where 98% of its players are girls who now have the opportunity to read about the four friends and the magical realm of Jorvik.

Starfam rejoice, the books are finally here

The Amelia Six is sequel-worthy realistic fiction mystery for 9 and up

Sleepers, they’re not just for movies that fly under the radar. It’s summertime and just like the sleeper film that critics hadn’t heard of, it’s the literary sleeper for us, The Amelia Six. It’s like that expectations vs. reality meme that has your quarantine self-haircut envisioned as Kelly Kapowski, but it turns out to be more Joe Dirt. To be clear, in this case The Amelia Six was Tiffani Thiessen that actually looked like Kelly Kapowski.

Fun, mystery and more fun for readers 9 and up

Infinity Train Book 1, available on DVD and streaming now

From the first moment I saw the trailer and heard the synopsis for Infinity Train I knew it would be one that we’d thoroughly enjoy. A young girl stumbles onto a train where everything defies reality and she’s unable to get back home. Created by Owen Dennis a writer and storyboard artist on Adventure Time, Infinity Train reminded us of what The Wizard of Oz, mixed with Snowpiercer and aspects of The Matrix. Oh –and the look is reminiscent of a Cartoon Network show with more anime-esque elements than you’d expect. Infinity Train, Book 1 didn’t disappoint and is now available on DVD and streaming.

For ages 7 and up, this is part OZ, Matrix and Snowpiercer

City Spies is go-to reading for middle school and up

On average we read one book a year that runs. This is the descriptor we use when the book can’t be put down. The story that the author has put forth literally runs off of the page and into your imagination as fuel for what could be a perfect movie. Having said that, the book is almost always better, so be ahead of the curve and read City Spies by James Ponti. From the first two pages the book’s story runs into your mind with a credible, fun plot that has early teenagers as the main characters.

City Spies is fast, fun and jammed with excitement for ages 10 and up

Onward, keeping Pixar weird and wonderful

Keep Pixar weird. If it were a city then this could be its rallying call among some of its citizens. They’re the folk who’ve lived there for a long time and love the place, but they also like the time when it just got started. Onward is a film from brings the oddity back to Pixar does it with an original story that feels unlike anything they’ve done since the late 2000s. In short, Onward manages to assure critics of Pixar that they’re too reliant on sequels or need them to create ‘those’ moments that we’ve come to expect from them.

Onward is original, weird, emotional, creative, human and very fun
