Oh, my.....my kids are going bonkers!
We need a virtual camp ASAP!

Everything was great during Zoom school all morning and then the at-home afternoon schedule of activities I put together. But they are DONE with Mommy Camp activities before summer, and before a "Mommy Camp" would even begin. I tried putting together a similar schedule to the afternoon schedule I had, plus some morning activities, but it lasted 3 days,.and they were bored and after months of these schedules, I am just exhausted and can't do anymore.

We need a virtual camp, a few hours a day. Not just one-time activities, like a virtual museum tour or a craft activity. Something that someone else is doing, for a few hours a day.

Interests of my kids include:
Girls: Arts &Crafts, Dance, Gymnastics, Reading, Science, Cooking, Baking. (Ages 9, 12, 14 and 17)
Boys: Basketball, Football, Gymnastics, Computers, Cooking, Science (ages 11 and 15)

I found one frum virtual camp for girls, but it was way more than we could afford for all 4 of them. We don't have a camp budget....normally their are plenty of summer activities and events to keep everyone busy, but everything is closed or canceled.

Any suggestions, please???? (Doesn't have to be a frum camp)

Camp Rena is running a virtual zoom camp this summer. We joined during corona lockdown and it was super fun and engaging. Paint canvases, baking miniatures, learning photography, hairstyles, gymnastics, dance parties, etc. They have an option to mail you all supplies (I think even lunch) each week. They have your girls ages.

Is their Zoom camp opening in the end? I saw it advertised and called and spoke to them about it, but I got the impression that they got so many signups for in-person camp that they weren't going to go ahead with the virtual option. Does anyone know for sure?

If your kids are interested in chess, there is a frum international master who is running a virtual camp this summer. My son had one on one lessons with him years ago.
