[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i guess your kids don't play any summer sports? odd[/quote]

I don't know anyone whose children play summer sports unless you are talking about swim club, and even that is a very small group. What summer sports do your kids play?[/quote]

NP. Sports would be my concern too actually, because it’s a huge part of our lives. OP’s kids are young now but this would shut the door on this option for her kids. In our area (NJ), summer is huge for baseball, lacrosse and some basketball leagues.  Football and other fall sports start preseason weeks before school begins too.

That being said, I do also know a lot of non-sport families who do exactly this - decamp to the shore for the summer putting kids in swim and sail camps from that location. The key is that they tend to be in shore towns with a lot of returning families year after year so the social network for the kids is close knit.

It’s all about the type of lifestyle your family wants to live, I’ve seen very happy family summers with either option![/quote]

I don’t get families like this.  I see travel teams all of the time when I travel for work and I just don’t get it.  If it is your thing, fine.  But we enjoy our summers at the beach and still get in plenty of physical activities.   It’s even weirder when kids miss out on other opportunities because of sports.  DS did a 10 day trip to Europe and a bunch of kids didn’t go because of sports commitments. [/quote]
