To kick off this series of Summer Camp ideas, I thought I would start with something my boys love. I really hope that you are all like me. I hope that when summer comes, you try to find things to keep your kids occupied because they need to have something to do each day!
My boys love looking forward to summer though because that means that I make up our summer fun chart.
For the past few years I have been printing out a list of activities, putting it in a cheap frame (think dollar store) and each time they do one, they cross it off with dry erase markers. The beauty of having it in a frame is that I can just wipe it off. Easy Peasy.
This year I thought I would get fancy and make all of you (who want one) a printable list as well. Just click the photo for a larger one to print out.
Coming up these next few weeks, I have some wonderful guest posts. These ladies have some really cool ideas for you to try out. I will be posting summer camp ideas every Monday and Thursday. Come check them out, and...
Enjoy summer!
Some of these things are just links to a photo, or an idea on Etsy and I figured I could totally do it (without buying them) I hope you will also find them useful.

So fun! I'm excited to try some of these things. Between this printable and your reading list I'm dying due to an inkless printer. Good thing I'm going to the city on Saturday... {finally}
That all looks like fun- and a lot of work to put together! It kinda makes me tired just reading it though. Sigh. So many things I want to do with the kids, but how to find the time and energy to do them?
What a great list! Flour tag and a redneck waterbed jumped I'll definitely have to check out. :)
