[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol. Good luck! 
That kid will be bored to death in a week. 
Unless your nanny LOVES activities and traveling around to different parks, museums, zoos, aquariums, etc all day. [/quote]

I mean those are normal things to expect a nanny to do. But in the summer you can also plan on 2 or more days at the pool and this requires very little planning, entertains kids and tires them out. If you can combine it with swim team or even just group lessons it's extra easy because then there are built-in friends at the pool when you go.

Also for a 7 year old you can load up on classes and lessons. Like a typical summer schedule for our elementary kid would be 2 days a week of swimming, one day of ballet, one day of tennis, one day of music lessons. This ensures one activity a day that no one has to plan and nanny just has to get her there and back.

Also some kids just don't like camp and will be happier spending more time reading or drawing or building legos. I think camp is great for kids with very social, easy-going personalities. It's really hard for kids who are shy, prone to anxiety, or just want/need less stimulation. There are lots of both kinds of kids in the world so it makes sense that some kids are just not camp kids.[/quote]
