[quote=Anonymous]I usually ask my kids to set a few goals of things they'd like to study/learn in the summer with the requirement that at least one involve outdoor/physical aspects.  I try to support in some way, such as buying tools or materials--figuring out a way they can acquire new skills via a class or someone I know who has the skills.  Both kids are avid readers so no need to do anything on that.  Their outside projects usually involve some kind of carpentry/design/building so there's a bit of math to figure out there.  One kid is very school-oriented and set himself a goal of 10 min math practice a day last summer.  They both play instruments so there's that practice too.  We go hiking, camping and to museums and there's a lot of educational aspects to that.  I also have them choose chores (some like caring for their own rooms/laundry once they are 10/dishes are not a choice). They've learned a lot of their cooking skills through that process as it's universally chosen over bathroom cleaning and the like.
