Camps, jobs, volunteering?
We have swim team and 1 week of travel planned. Possible she’ll do 1 week of art camp and she could volunteer coach on our swim team. But not much else in terms of structured stuff. Wondering what is common and reasonable for this age. Last time I had a 13 year old it was Covid and no one was doing anything. |

Yes, troubleshoot network and application issues on PC and MAC. DH taught him how to do that at the age of ten. My neighbor is a Fed and she convinces one of the gov contractors to hire my son. |
