Yes I know it is currently winter and almost Christmas time, however if you are like me you plan ahead especially when it comes to what the kids can do in the summertime. The summer vacation time of school being out leaves a lot of parents wondering what to have the kids do for the whole time they are off school. Well I did a little bit of brainstorming while I was planning and decided there are three key and fun activities to have the kids do this summer.
Sleep away camp:
I went to sleep away camp when I was a kid and I loved every minute of it. I loved it so much that I actually became a counselor at the same camp when I was an adult. There is something fun and liberating about getting to spend time with other kids your age and just run around in the woods with someone other than your parents.

Drive in movie:
Going to see a drive in movie is something that has been forgotten but it can be a great thing to do in the summer. Load up the kids in the car with some snacks and go take in a double feature. There is nothing quite like the experience of a drive in. Best to get it in before all the theaters are gone.
Go to the Beach:
Go to the beach and build a sandcastle. This one may seem again like an old fashioned idea but it is a timeless and very fun one. Kids are over connected these days. It is scary when you see how young kids are getting cell phones, tablets and all those fancy devices. Taking them outside and showing them the activities out there is one of the best things you can do.
