[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer is going to be really tough for parents with zero telework flexibility.  For just one example preteens/teenagers.  One cannot so easily just sign them up for 8-6 summer camps for the entire summer anymore.  They have activities that some weeks end at 12-4 pm etc.  We the past few years got really used to having some scheduling flexibility that could be maximized during the summer months.  I am not quite ready to have them be full-on latchkey kids 5 days a week.[/quote]

My kids did camp all summer when I was working before the pandemic in a government position without telework. [/quote]

DP. I'm not sure those exist anymore. I booked extended day camps for my kids last summer every week because I didn't know which days would be in person months ahead of time, and it was really hard to find something. Harder than I would have thought. Almost everything was 8 or 9 until 3 or 4 for full day option.  [/quote]

Yes this is my problem too. “Camp” runs 9-4. Daycare is until 6:30 and my kids are 9! They’re too old to go to daycare camps. Dh and I can switch off who picks up but he’s a fed who travels often. [/quote]

There are camps with aftercare.  Those are the ones you need to use.  They are fine for a 9 year old.[/quote]

There aren’t that many for the number of kids that would need it. Every summer our rec center camps get completely filled up and somehow parents are able to drop off and pick up (probably by staggering schedules), but it’s clear these working parents have some kind of flexible schedules or WFH.
