Things are a little different this summer and a lot of programs for the summer have been canceled. But that doesn’t mean that your summer fun is canceled. Let’s turn our backyards into a DIY summer camp.

Just because there are still public places closed all over the country, and summer camps and other recreational activities have been canceled doesn’t mean that your kids need to be sitting at home playing video games. Though if they are, know that I am not judging anyone, my kids spend their fair share of time on the computer, video games, and/or watching TV.
Let’s start planning our summer camp at home with a different theme for each week. I have 10 different themes to keep you and your kids entertained this summer at home.
At Home Summer Camp Themes
- Nature Theme
- Animals Theme
- CampingTheme
- Spy School Theme
- Space Theme
- Science Lab Theme
- Superhero Theme
- Gardening Theme
- Crafts Theme
- Water Week Theme
Sunny warm days are more fun to think of than cold windy days and homeschool lessons are still to be completed. Having backyard summer fun planned at home is a great way to enjoy being at home this summer instead of taking a family vacation.
