[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that some camps will do some kind of part-day distance programming. Dance Place, Writopia, and Theatre Lab already have stuff up and running, and I'm guessing Mad Science will think up something, too. It's not too active, it costs money, and it doesn't appeal to every kid, but all the summer programs will be desperate to regain lost income and many will pull something together.

There's also some lowish hanging fruit online. Our kids are at a charter school and we already use some of DCPS's stuff when the lessons won't fill the right number of hours. So maybe there are free resources online in different states. Brainpop, Brainpop Junior, Commonlit, Scholastic, Khan Academy, PBS Learning Media, and Newsela also have lots of curriculum online. It takes some parent oversight to fill out the docket, and I bet the kids will not be pleased to do this type of learning over the summer, but giving kids a chance to choose what they learn might be helpful. And maybe being honest with the kids about the parents' need to work and their need for their kids to be meaningfully occupied could build some understanding.

None of what I'm saying will work for everyone, but in case it's a start for some, I share it.
