Mamas Facing Forward Stay Home Summer Camp was a project I first developed during the isolated summer of 2020. For each theme I provide a menu of options to choose from, including: virtual learning resources, easy craft & snack ideas, simple activities, books, and movies/TV to watch.
Trust me, whether you do it for a full week or just for a day, there’s something magical about doing a few activities that all share the same theme. In fact, my kids kept requesting “Stay Home Camp” even when we went back to regular summer camp and vacations. I’ve also added “field trip ideas” to themes from past years as well.
I hope these ideas will provide your family with a little fun – while at the same time making summer a bit easier for you!!
Love, Mariah
