With an 11 year old girl at home during the summer I know
the words “I’m bored” will come out of her mouth within the first week.
How do I plan on combating that?
Bug catching
Songs
Swimming
Hiking
Climbing Tower
Yeppers…. Sending my daughter to a two week camp with kids
her own age should help a ton to remove those words from her vocabulary, at
least for the two weeks that she’s out with her new friends creating memories.
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Creating memories and
friends that they can write to throughout the years, learning camp songs I
still sing to them at night (Yes, those are about the only songs I have in my
arsenal of lullaby’s)
AO Camps here in Colorado have so many opportunities for
kids her age it’s hard to choose just one. They have day camps, overnight
camps, 1 week-2 week camps, they have acting, crafts, hiking and backpacking
during those days as well as snacks and quiet time.
Bored?
No way.
My favorite? The Day
camp here in Denver which happens to be right down the road in the lovely
remodeled Stapleton. They have transportation which is included in the camp
fees. Food and entertainment, and a piece of mind that when I’m off work I can
go and pick her up knowing that she’s going to be all smiles full of
entertaining stories and ready for dinner and hopefully bed. Nothing like a
girl being tired out after a day at camp, ready for another day of adventure.

Oh, and so you can remove the words,” I’m bored “ from your own household this
summer, or at least for two weeks.
