[quote=Anonymous]It's a really short summer when you think about it. We're not off as long as the kids are when you factor in staff development days. Some teachers take classes, some catch up on house projects because we take home a lot of work during the school year, or we save on child care and keep our kids home. Also, this is the best time for teachers to travel. We're limited by how many days off we can take during the school year and traveling during breaks is extremely expensive. The best teachers try not to miss too many days during the year, so that's often a lot of catching up to do during the summer for appointments and home projects. The camps that are run by teachers are often the shorter, one or two week academic focused programs sponsored by the counties. I have friends that run a STEM camp in Loudoun. Other teachers I know run a fine arts camp.[/quote]
