[quote=Anonymous]I mean this is what I plan to do with my 8.5 year old this summer- somewhat- except for the first 4-5 weeks its swim team practice for an hour. He'll also get 2 weeks of swim lessons and tennis lessons thatll be right after swim team.

Go home, take a break. Eat brunch. Pack snacks and head to the pool for 2-3 hours (12-3). Home by 3ish for mid-day reset for work. 2nd kid home by 5. Summer play or back at the pool from 5-8 on days he doesnt have practice.

I have him registered for 1 week of camp so far but Ill probably add 1-2 more 1/2 day camps locally. I think most kids balk at the all day camps and sometimes they are incredibly uncomfortable with heat.

I am hoping to find some low cost morning things to do and my husband is off every other Friday so they will do some adventures.

Cheap movies during the weekdays once weekly.
I plan to show him iconic 80s and 90s sports movies once a week. 
He'll have a dedicated summer reading list to go through. Library weekly. 
There's usually low cost skate or bowl weekday events. 
As long as we arent spending $400+ per week on activities, we are saving money compared to camps.
