Summer Camp DIY

It does take some upfront effort to pull off a fun summer camp at home for you and your kids, but the Summer Camp At Home planner I have listed below will cut your planning time in half.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and with a few minutes of planning now, you can have everything ready for each week this summer.

During the summer camp at home, we suggest you schedule one or two local  field trips every week. Make sure that these are outings or events are open and available for you and your kids.

Here are some safe, local field trip options.

• Hiking or walking trails. Make it fun by playing “I spy” or collecting cool leaves, stones, and sticks.
• Geocaching with Kids.
• Have fun at the local parks with the Kids.
• Go on a family camping trip, even if it’s in the back yard.
• Family fishing day.
• Picnics and bike rides are fun.
• The kids love going creek wading too.

How Do You Start A Summer Camp At Home?

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of your kids being home all summer?

First, recognize that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Simply doing something is better than huge blocks of time on the calendar and way too much TV and video games. Cut yourself some slack and recognize that something is better than nothing.

Second, create a schedule. All of us do better with a routine, both for each day and each week.

Third, make it fun! Plan activities that are fun for both the kids and for you and don’t create too much work. A little enthusiasm goes a long way toward making it fun for everyone.

More Summer Camp Activities At Home

Giving each day of the week a theme will make your summer camp at home another fun option.

For example, Monday could be Make Something Monday. This would be that on Mondays your family focuses on building something fun. Do you enjoy Diamond Art or building with Legos? Build a fort in the living room? Or an obstacle course in the back yard!

Wednesday could be Wet Wednesday. You could plan summer camp activities around water. Make a slip n slide from plastic, dish soap, and your water hose, buy a small back yard pool, go to the local creek, or if your public pools are open go hang out there for a few hours. Or maybe buy some water guns and have a water gun battle with your kids.

Friday could be Family Movie night. Rent or buy some movies, pop some yummy popcorn or make your family’s favorite snacks and binge-watch some of your favorite movies together.

These are more creative ideas to get you started. We can’t wait to hear about the additional plans you come up with for meaningful time together this summer.
