Summer Camps

We have not loaded down our summer with a lot of activities - mostly on purpose. We skipped swim lessons this year - finally, I can say, she doesn't really need lessons anymore unless she just wants to perfect her skills.
I did let her pick some activities - major ones - and we've scattered those throughout our calendar. We've been to Splash Country, and we've painted pottery. We've gone to the library. We went to Jonesborough for lunch one day to hear a storyteller, but the show was sold out so we strolled and bought expensive chocolate instead. In a few weeks, we're going to Forbidden Caverns. We still need to go to Dollywood.
Last week, she had a half day summer camp at her school. The teacher she will have in 4th grade was doing an Ooey Gooey Science summer camp. They made some pretty neat stuff everyday - volcanoes, slime, quicksand, gopher guts, lava lamps, etc. I think they also blew up some stuff with alka seltzer or maybe it was mentos in coke???
This week, she is in an all-day camp associated with the Methodist church. It's out in the boonies, but she is really enjoying it! Maybe next year she might like to try sleep away camp. If we let her.
I'd also like to do an all-day letterboxing adventure with her. We've got to get that on the calendar. After summer camp this week, there are no more summer camps scheduled. We'll spend the rest of the summer drinking Kool-Aid, eating Popsicles, and hanging out. Our weather has been very agreeable this year (I think the last 2 summers have been mild).
