Are you ready for summer? I am. I am excited about this summer because the kids each have a sport to focus on – my oldest plays ice hockey and is looking forward to summer league and a week of camp, my middle child has gymnastics 4 days a week over the summer and will do a week of horseback riding camp, and my youngest is doing swim team and a week of horseback riding camp. In addition to the running all over the place for practices, time with friends, hanging out at the pool, and relaxing, I will be filling in the gaps with some fun, educational activities from Camp Weary Parent.

Weary Parent is a site I co-author that focuses on parenting tweens and teens. Each week this summer, my co-author Christine, and I will be picking a theme and publishing daily activities based on that theme. We’ll have games, projects, crafts, recipes and field trip ideas. Here’s the best part – this camp is FREE! You can join us for a day or stop in everyday – we don’t mind.
