Summer Camp Ideas and Alternatives

We both work full time. DS now 6 had been going to the summer camp program at his former day care until last year. He loved it but aged out. This year we had him enrolled in a local Day camp. Light academics in the morning, the pool in the afternoon twice a week, the playground in the afternoon twice a week and a field trip every Friday. He is miserable and dreads going.

Oh Summer, Here We Are Again!

I am one of those moms who doesn't enjoy having the kids off all summer. Yes, I know, I'm terrible...But at least I'm honest. I have people telling me to cherish these days yadda..yadda...yadda.., but it's really hard to cherish constant complaints of boredom, whining, and fighting.
