CORONA — Flag Day, bug juice and canoe rides — if your kids are dreaming of ways to cure the winter blues, you'll be able to check out some options at a summer camp fair this weekend.

More than 40 camps will be at Camp Blast at the New York Hall of Science on Sunday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The free event, sponsored by Queens Mamas and Offspriing Magazine, is for families interested in learning about day, sleep-away and specialty camps in the New York metro area.

Organizations such as the 82nd St. Academics, Beth Sholom Day Camp, Summer Institute for the Gifted and the Wildlife Conservation Society — with camp offerings for toddlers and pre-teens — will be present to share information and ask questions.

Camp Blast, NYSCI, 47-01 111th St., Corona. For more information, visit the Queens Mamas website.
