Anyone else feeling the stress of the summer countdown? It takes a lot of juggling to schedule ten weeks of summer freedom for our kids, and it’s not cheap, either.

As a nation we spend about $18 billion on camps and other summer enrichments for our kids every year. That’s nuts. But left to their own devices, our kids will be on their devices. So what’s a parent to do?

In this episode we discuss

ways to keep your kids occupied this summer without spending a lot of money

how to find the right balance of structure and laziness

how to create screen-free environments in a world where there aren’t many

Here’s where we come out: Plan something. Not too much. Mostly fun.
