Keeping kids busy during the summer is a full-time job. One great way relieve stress and get your kids outside to play is to try a summer camp.
I used to go to 4-H camp for one week each summer and I still remember those days like yesterday. Those were some of my favorite summer memories as a kid; there was just enough supervision to keep you out of trouble but not too much to inhibit exploration.
There are tons of different summer camps to choose from. There are sports camps, adventure camps, acting camps and even camps to help kids lose weight. This summer camp guide provides a listing for some camps near you.

Is this the year I finally go to the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago? I’ve been wanting to go, but, you know, being a responsible parent and all, it seemed like a bad idea to head off to a 3-day concert. The babysitting expenses alone were enough to scare me away.
Now I have a better idea: Bring the boy!
He’s six and he loves music (The Clash, and ugh, the Jonas Brothers — kids these days). There is a separate show at Lollapalooza 2010 called Kidzapalooza, and it offers events and performances just for parents and kids. (And then we can wander around the big show!)
The best part: Kidzapalooza is free for kids under 10 as long as dad buys a ticket. For slightly older kids, Perry Farrell has a good idea on what it might it cost in the video below (he’s playing at Kidzapalooza).
Parents: Check out this video, where Farrell discusses the Kidzapalooza line-up (a very cool special guest announcement comes toward the end).
