"Mom, I'm bored," will never be heard in your household again because the number of things for kids to do in this town in the summer sum-mer has increased by orders of magnitude mag-nitude in the past few years. Here is a brief rundown of activities for kids of various ages, with contact phone numbers so that you can get additional addi-tional information. On the camp scene this year, there are a number of options for your kids to choose from. Deer Valley Resort is again presenting its Summer Adventure Day Camp, starting June 16 through Aug. 22, Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (although the Child Care Center itself is open from 8 a.m.-5:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.), for ages six-12 years (649-1000).

The weekend looks good for romance in fact, instantaneous love may spring up between you & someone you meet through a friend, so forget going solo. Imaginative Neptune could bring you some sort of inspiration in regards to your career on Tuesday or Wednesday. And, if your boss found your voodoo doll, you'll need some inspiration, won't you? TAURUS (April 20 - May 19) You know how you're normally so accepting accept-ing and serene about life? You enjoy a placid sort of existence with lots of comfort and relaxation, right? Well, that's not exactly the way things are this week. As we wind up the last days of your birthday celebration, you're filled with curiosity and a desire for variety. On Saturday, you'll do almost anything for excitement thanks to Unconventional Uranus tempting your Hedonistic ruler, Venus, to take a walk on the wild side. You may need to recuperate after this outrageous weekend, so keep your social obligations down to a manageable manage-able number and book yourself some nap time. GEMINI (May 20 -June 20) It's a heavenly weekend for you sophisticated sophisticat-ed charmers. Elegant Venus makes you popular with the social set while the Sensitive Moon in your house of romance gives you that soft glow that attracts choose one or more) men; women; androids like bees to honey. Your ruler, Quick-thinking Mercury, trudges through the lethargic sign of Taurus all week. So, you do have an excuse for falling asleep at your desk. But, when the Flamboyant Sun enters your sign on Tuesday, wake up your birthday month is starting & they can't begin the parties without you. CANCER (June 21 -July 21) Chatty Mercury in your house of friends is stirring up some trouble this weekend when gossip and innuendoes about your social set spread like wildfire. And, the truth is, with Out-of-Control Mars in your communication communi-cation house, you're probably the one fanning fan-ning the flames. When your lunar ruler moves into the secretive sign of Scorpio on Monday evening, you revert to your normal private self. You still feel like talking, but now you want to keep it intimate. On Tuesday, the Dramatic Sun enters your house of dreams and sleeping will be 5-star entertainment. Skip the movie rentals. LEO (July 22 -August 22) Those of you royal types who've been hoping hop-ing to meet someone to share your castle at least on occasion are in luck this weekend. Venus (goddess of love) has decided to use her seductive powers on Uranus (ruler of your relationship house).

Adventurers will rock climb, mountain moun-tain bike, canoe, learn compass skills, hike, study wetlands, camp, and much more. Voyagers are ages 13 and 14, and their activities include a canoe voyage on Lake Powell and backpacking in the Uintas (with and without llamas!). Ages 15-19 have not been left out of the Norwegian School's activity list; they can go mountaineering on skis or snowboard in the High Uintas or explore the Paria River and Black Box Canyons in Southern Utah. For more information about Norwegian School programs, call 649-5322. Aspiring young actors will enjoy Park City Performances' Summer Youtheatre Camp, for both beginning begin-ning (July 7-19) and advanced (June 23-July 3) thespians. Classes meet at local schools (649-9371). For the dancer in your family, Ballet West's Summer Dance Camp at Deer Valley Resort is an experience not to be forgotten. A resident camp for ages 9-14, it runs from August 3-9 and includes instruction in ballet, as well as jazz, modern and creative dance, and other arts-related activities activi-ties (323-6919). Dance Tech Studios in Park City is also conducting a Summer Dance Camp this year, starting July 1 and running through Aug. 25. The studio also offers a variety of dance classes throughout the summer (655-9213). The Kimball Art Center is offering offer-ing classes for young people, including includ-ing Documentary Film-making and Papiermache.

If you've already got someone to share your throne, then expect an extra spark between you. You're a bit moody on Tuesday & Wednesday and sweetie suspects you're interested in another. And? Is it true? Did you get struck by that weekend love missile? Well, the life of a Leo is nothing without an ongoing ongo-ing drama. VIRGO (August 23 - September 21) Some of you find that having Rambunctious Mars in your sign fills you with energy. You fearlessly take on extra work, extra play, and extra competition from just about anyone. The rest of you may feel restless and irritable not able to get anything completed because you're too easily distracted. Relax. You've got some relief this week. Logical Mercury (your ruler) in the methodical sign of Taurus, is calmly handling things as they come. Starting Wednesday, prepare to be noticed when the Brilliant Sun lights up your professional profes-sional accomplishments. I guess that means you'll have to temporarily stop coming com-ing to work in your red hi-top sneakers. LIBRA (September 22 - October 22) There are two things occupying your thoughts this weekend traveling and entertainment. Why deprive yourself? Find a last minute deal hop on a train, a plane, or a tour bus passing through town. You'll have more fun if you do some sort of exploring. From Tuesday, you begin a lucky cyde that could win you a vacation. Start filling out sweepstakes entry blanks the ones that offer a trip as a prize, NOT the ones that offer cash, cars, or a lifetime supply of lawn fertilizer. And, don't worry. All those sweepstakes let you bring someone some-one along. We know how you romantic types hate to be alone.

Ready? Okay, put on your little radar cap. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 -December 20) Now It's your turn to start thinking about your relationship or lack of one.

Those of you who have made a commitment , should take advantage of the excitement of Uranus mixed with the seductiveness of Venus to make your relationship more thrilling. (Philosophical question of the day: Is there really such a thing as a truly committed com-mitted Sag? One who doesn't fear that there's something better out there? If you, or anyone you know, has the answer, please call our toll free number.) CAPRICORN (Dec 21 - January 1 9) So, how'd you like a little extra love AND money? That's your ouBook for the weekend week-end if you let yourself relax and trust in the zodiac gods and goddesses not an easy thing for you suspicious types, I admit. On Tuesday, the Vain Sun moves into your house of fitness for a one month stay just in time to get you ready for shorts season. sea-son. Oh, you don't wear shorts too undignified. Well, then, just in time for swim wear season. Come on. Even a Capricorn needs a beach break now and then. At any rate, it's exercise time. Strap on those wrist weights and power walk to work. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 17) Any love affair that starts on Saturday is likely to be electric, exciting, and unstable in other words, an Aquarian's idea of true love. If starting a new relationship doesn't fit in with your current schedule, then plan to do a different activity. Anything that's exciting should satisfy your craving, although I do suggest wearing a helmet for some of your more dangerous stunts. The Moon In Power-Hungry Scorpio on Tuesday & Wednesday could cause problems prob-lems between you & the boss. Humble, you're not but, at least pretend that you're lower on the totem pole, even if you KNOW the place would fall apart without you. PISCES (February 18 March 19) Someone from your past is likely to show up this week. No, I didn't say an ex-lover, but lefs face it since you've done your share of heart-breaking, there's a few out there. But, don't worry. This is a fun reunion rather than a gloomy one. Although you're not materialistic, you're likely to be spending money on your home right now. Not on boring things like plumbing, plumb-ing, but on totally decorative things that have no purpose except for pleasing the eye. With your bizarre imagination, there's no telling how far this will go. but, if I pass by a house with a new iridescent paint job, I'll know ifs yours. 1 appointment ill tZA JiiiL- J PHOTO COURTESY PARK CITY CHAMBERBUREAU Horsebackriding at Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain Resort and with the National Abilities Center is just one of the many things kids can do in Park City this summer.
