The GoalI am not crafty by any means. But I can organize, I can research and I can plan.My goal in creating these summer“camps”is to have a summer break where I engage positively with my children and not have a summer breakdown. :) So I have compiled some of those super fun things out there that you super crafty people have created. Above all else - have fun! xoxo -kippy

How it works:Each week has a theme. Each theme has 5 days of planned activities, trying best to keep with the theme. Do them in the morning, afternoon, or work into your day. There are no rules. Play the whole week or just a day. Use the blank form below to create you own“summer camp”plans. Make changes as you see fit. Involve your kids in the planning process. The Fine Print:* These are suggestions only. You know your children better than anyone, make changes as you see fit.* Age Range. I am working within the 2-7 year old age range just because those are my children. Activities, Field Trips, Books, Movies and Snacks can be modified or changed accordingly based on age and your personal opinion.* Links: I will always give credit where credit is due. Most of these crafty creations are not my own and I will include links or credit the source from which it came.
