[QUOTE="ksm, post: 593478, member: 12511"] In the past she has had a week at church camp and loved it - but this year she has decided she no longer believes in God, so doesn't want to go to church camp. It was a very laid back type camp that wasn't preachy or and reflections was a pretty simple theme. Our church high school group has a week long trip for a conference that she could go to free - but again - it's not for her and she doesn't want to go. I am looking in to some volunteer opportunities and today I checked on summer school - as she has 2 F's, a D, a C- and an A in choir. One of the F's is in algebra, and if she fails this last trimester, she will have to take all three trimesters over next year. The school does not have summer school, but for $125 I can put her in to a class that meets in June either 9 to 12 or 12 to 3. Mon to Fri. If she applies herself, she could get done in two weeks instead of four. In our state, you can't hardly find a job until age 16. There is a restaurant near us that hires 15 yo for clearing tables and washing dishes... but she has heard from other kids it is not a "fun" place to work. Gee - I don't really remember any teen job that you got paid for as "fun". Plus, some girl works there she doesn't like... so she "can't" work there. I'll keep looking! Mary [/QUOTE]
