That's a definite no-go!

This is exactly what we did after our DS finished first grade. We took the summer and did activities, sports, the beach, etc. We pursued some science experiments and visited some museums. We regularly visited the library and DS read a bunch. But there were no mandatory requirements out of any of us that summer. By fall, all of us were ready for a more regular routine and having all the neighborhood kids disappear back to school helped that out.
