[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you or your DH is a SAH parent, do your DCs go to camp in the summer? How much do you spend? I'm curious because I will be home most of the time during the summer so DCs could stay home. In fact, I'm having a hard time justifying spending the $$$ for summer camp. BUT I'm also afraid DC will get incredibly bored being home all summer long. Thoughts?[/quote]

I think it really depends on the child and the neighborhood.  Most of the kids in our area go off to camp or have summer helpers that take the kids out of the neighborhood everyday, so there really aren't any kids to play with in the summer during the day.  We have an only who is extremely social (opposite of us), so we have found camps are really the only way to make the summer bearable (unless we want DC on Minecraft all summer!)  We'll usually take a vacation right after school, and then July is full of camps.  August is open with maybe one or two camps depending on DC's interest, but I definitely leave at least two weeks alone for downtime before school starts.  It makes DC more excited to head back to school to see friends.  Now, if the kids in the neighborhood were actually here or he was more of a loner, then I might do one or two camps in the summer only to break it up.  My husband never did camps and I only did one sport camp, but neither of us were the extreme social types.  Get a feel for who will be around in the summer and what your DC is like and then choose.[/quote]
