It depends on how much they want to do it. If it’s something that they desperately want to do, then I find a way to make it work, but I’m not going to fight anyone to get into the car so that I can spend an hour driving back and forth to their EC activity.
I do a lot of driving for my daughter’s pointe classes. On the other hand, piano lessons and religion classes are right by the house.

+1 to 30 minutes each way for something great. I do this and just stay in the area and go to coffee shop and get some work done or run errands, shop, etc… so can be productive.
20 minutes max each way normally

It depends on the type of commute. Driving 1.5 hrs round trip on Sunday midday to DD's previous riding barn was a pleasure: the route was pleasantly suburban/rural and uncrowded. We loved the teacher and horses. Driving exactly the same amount of time to DD's new riding barn on a weekday evening is a NIGHTMARE because the route is more urban, it's rush hour, we're both tired, and half the horses are either ready to retire, or ready to buck. I need up driving at night in the winter and I hate driving at night.
I've been looking for another barn since last year, but can't find any reputable one that's taking new students. Grrr.

Longer car trips to an activity mean more time for good conversations, especially as kids get older. It may seem inconvenient on paper but that time isn't wasted, it's invaluable.

How far would you drive for a kid's activity or extracurricular? How many minutes in the car for a round-trip, and how many times a week?
