At the school. In person.

MCPS has both in person and virtual classes. Health Ed is a popular one.

Some private schools have them. Our experience was hit or miss with them.

This

My son is doing a bunch of coding/IT certification classes, same thing he did last summer. Some of it will be new some of it will be the next level/standard of certifications he received last year.


Would love recommendations for any coding programs - particularly in person opportunities beyond TIC Which don't work for us schedule wise...

Swim / tennis at the local pool - including coaching the youngest kids and then just hanging at the pool with friends for most of the rest of the day - for the first 5-6 weeks.
Sleepaway camp for the last 3 weeks.

It completely depends on the school/district. My kid did in-person PE during the summer session to get it out of the way.

2 weeks of Scout things (a camp and a trip), 1-2 weeks of vacation with family, and the rest working on merit badges and going to the pool with friends. Math tutoring and music lessons weekly.

Rising 9th grader:

end of JUNE
1-2 weeks grandparents´ beach house

JULY
1 week travel tournament (futsal)
1–2 weeks: finish SSL hrs (MCPS)
1 week HS soccer prep camp

AUGUST
1 week soccer camp through club or private trainers
1 week family vacation

In between: Pool, friends, sleepovers, etc.

++ I like the idea others mentioned about taking a summer HS class and getting it out of the way (health etc.) — maybe next summer.

Spending 2 months in Europe. We have a base there, and will take shorter trips here and there. In between, probably pool, community service, maybe a week of camp. We’ll see, will be fun. We haven’t been able to do this in a while.
