[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 437804, member: 1233"] Check to see if the local YMCA has any teen camps. This was our saving grace one summer wtih Wiz. Usually they do a lot of field trips -1 or 2 per week - and they have a separate place to hang out from the little kids at daycamp. It is the ONLY option we ever found for teens. I wish that there was a way to get some kind of summer activity for teens that would help with kids that age. Sadly, the summer of computer games all day seems to actually be almost normal in our area. Many kids here do nothing but screen time all day while parents work or do their own thing. Having to earn screen time seems like a great solution to me, but probably comes with nonstop arguing and even raging. I tried hard to get husband to work up a class on programming computer games to be taught to teens but so far he hasn't done much. I think many parents would be willing to pay for this so at least the computer time would be spent learning something. So many kids dream of being game designers or testers that I think it would be very popular if done well. [/QUOTE]
