    I'm just going to read and swim. If there's summer work for my English class next year, I'll obviously do that, but the teacher might not assign any.

    DD12 has a mixture of Girl Scout camps, STARS through DITD, and just hanging out at home. DS8 will have camp every week (not mature enough to be home alone, let alone with his sister), with a mixture of theater camp, chess camp, and engineering camp.

    DD8 has wall-to-wall theater camps for the first half of the summer. Then a dance camp, a few other odds and ends, and maybe we'll do some traveling. Also continuing our homeschool routine, such that it is, throughout the summer.

    DS5 is finally old enough for horse camp by our house so he is trying that for a few weeks (his friends who are older went last year and loved it). We also signed him up for a local GT camp run out of his school for all their sessions (he loved it last year), and we are also trying a sports/gymnastics camp run at a place that was highly recommended to me for a few weeks. In between, he has a few weeks to chill out at home (half day with babysitter and we are hoping half day of Lego projects and reading while we work from home - I hope this goes okay).

    DD3's school goes through summer before she moves to DS's school other than a break for two weeks, which we have her favorite babysitter coming over.

    One week of vacation at a lake, maybe a couple 4-day weekend regional trips to visit historical sites. DC each have 2 week-long day camps. Other than that swimming, playing, reading, and doing whatever we come up with.

    We'll be living outdoors, with a perma-tent in the back yard as a shady getaway for reading and snoozing when the sun and swimming gets to be too much.

    Oh, and I'll be working, too.

    DS17 is on a group trip to Europe, and when he comes back he may be taking an online course to make up the required one he is on the cusp of failing. And we will visit some colleges.

    DD11 will have 2 weeks of Shakespeare camp, 3 weeks of a fabulous all around arts camp and her first ever sleep away camp for 1 week - Girl Scout camp with the theme "Camp Half Blood". She will also do a show but still deciding which one as auditions are coming up later this month. Last summer she did 3 shows on top of all her camps. Not doing that again. She loved the 14 hour days but we were exhausted! smile
