Summer Camps and Activities
So far this summer we haven’t done too much – it’s like the reality of no school is just beginning to hit. Last week was spent playing with friends, but this week the natives are getting a bit restless!
My youngest daughter is doing a general arts and crafts day camp for kids her age.
My oldest son is doing a weekly class on the LEGO Mindstorms NXT
And that leaves my middle child – a nearly 9 year old gymnast who does not play with toys, but loves animals and cooking. What am I going to do with her? She asked today if she could go to “Cooking Camp”. I am not one bit surprised. She has tivo-ed all the cooking shows on TV and watches them every chance she gets. I just did a search for kids cooking classes in our area and found YoungChefsAcademy. It looks like they are opening one up near us this summer – I will have to check it out.
Are your kids doing camps this summer? If so, what kinds and do you have any you recommend?
I have one at camp for 3 weeks, and, the others watching too much TV and asking for food interspersed with swimming.
The next one goes to camp for 3 weeks in about 2 weeks while the first one comes home and uses the phone until school starts with intermittent sports camps.
My oldest, 15 is taking two classes in a Summer School type program, where he will actually earn some credit. This is only for the month of July, 8 – 12.
My 11 (almost 12) year old daughter is going to be in two different basketball camps, but those are each only one week.
My 7 & 10 year old hated camp last year so much that I didn’t even think about sending them again.
