One thing that happens when kids reach middle school is that suddenly, for pricing purposes, they are “adults.” I don’t know who first invented that scam, but I bet they are laughing all the way to the bank.
Rather than put a middle schooler into an incredibly pricy summer camp program, you can instead learn how to do summer camp at home!
Because the kids are middle schoolers, if you’re not planning your camp themes as part of a larger program, you can even enroll the help of your middle schooler in planning and operating the camp.
These summer camp themes for middle schoolers are all approved by my middle-school daughter, who says they aren’t too “cringe.”
I think that is a compliment?
