[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were 12, we did a combination of camps and unstructured at home. Mostly sports camps, since that's what my kids were into, and while I'm a big fan of unstructured time, we live in a more rural area with not many kids around. So they didn't have friends to run around with, no community pool, etc., and I didn't want them spending the entire summer on devices. In the spring we would look at what camps were being offered and they chose ones that they wanted to do, it averaged about two weeks of camp a month, two weeks unstructured. You're fortunate that you have a flexible summer work schedule, so if your DD wants to do a half-day camp, it could work out. Is DD not interested in any camps at all? I would consider telling her she needs to choose a couple, whatever she may be interested in. What do her friends typically do over the summer? Maybe she could sign up with a friend for a camp or two? [/quote]
