OK, so there is just over one month to go before summer vacation begins for my eight year old. I have no idea what he is going to do this year?
He used to go to the camp put on by the rec department in our town. He has gone for two years, but last year he said that it was boring. I have been looking at possibly sending him to a few different places like sports camps, 4-H camps, environmental camps, etc. By the time you add up eight individual weeks of different camps, you have enough to make a down payment on a house....OK, maybe not that much:)
So what to do? I cannot very easily take him to work with me or take him to meetings, and unfortunately he does not entertain himself very well. I need a solution that will keep him challenged and entertained, and be cost effective.
