Still trying to figure out what to do with your kids this summer?  The summer can be a stressful time if you have kids and need to work outside the home.  It can be quite the juggling act as you coordinate dates, transportation and expenses.

As much as possible, stay organized and try to fit in some flexibility wherever possible.  Often, a better camp opportunity may come up after you’ve just booked one.  You want to be able to cancel if needed and get your funds back.

As you figure out what to do with your kids while you work, here are some resources to consider:

Some sites will allow you to create a “scheduler,” which will allow you to select different camps the company offers to fill in your time.  An example is Colorado Academy.  An option to consider to fill in gaps between camps can be to utilize your area’s recreation center.  Many offer summer programs that you can take advantage of weekly, part-time or drop-in at affordable prices.  This can give you some flexibility as well since you can pick and choose the days you may want your child to attend.  Maybe there is a particular field trip that interests your child.

Unfortunately, many camps and other summer activities are filling up, so act fast!
