[quote=Anonymous]I think the prob is it's either online all day or nothing. My kids are 12 and 14 and this is the first summer I've not really scheduled them full. They have 3 day camps each, we did a lot of traveling but for the most part they have 5 weeks of nothing. A couple PT sports sessions for younger and a couple tutoring sessions for older and I managed to find volunteer work for them for 1/2 a wk but beyond that their friends aren't around and we don't have a pool membership. I don't regret it in that I don't want to spend the money for camps every week but I do think it's hard when private schools allow for 13 weeks of summer to fill! I mean you can only organize food pantries for so many days in volunteering :) Next summer I'd really like to find maybe more structured volunteering activities for them. For us, summer is hard as the boredom is pretty bad - I mean unless I just let them be on screens 10 hours every day! [/quote]
