Teens and summer activites

[beatlesbrat]

I wonder what kinds of summer activites any of your teens have been engaged in this summer. I have a 14 year old daughter who is in desparate need of summer activity. My husband and I work rather far from home, so it can be difficult to have her in one place for just a couple of hours only. It seems that at this age they are too old for day camps, but too young to work or be a volunteer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

We had a few discussions a while back about some summer activities.. you might find something here... I have two boys age 13 and 8 so they do different activities than what a girl might do so I don't really have any personal suggestions..

Hello and thanks for the welcome, Karried!
Thank you for the link to the previous discussion. Unfortunately, when I checked into the applicable ones a few months back, they were full. Most of the others she is too old for. She seems to be in this hard age group to find activites for - and she doesn't have any sports related activities yet this summer.

What about the YMCA? They have teen camps... I'm not sure what area you are in but they have quite a few facilities in OK.

That's a great thought! I'll check into it.
