Summer camp is one of the greatest things about childhood. At no other point, can you leave your home for a week of carefree fun and memory making. But summer camps may not be in the cards for your kiddos this year! Camps are expensive and take a ton of work to organize but just because you can’t send your kiddos away for the week doesn’t mean they should miss out! Instead, try hosting your DIY summer camp at home this year!

This is the next best thing to sending the kids away for the summer: DIY Summer Camp at home! These ideas are perfect for all ages and all the planning is done for me!

Thinking back to the things I enjoyed most about my camp days, I’m always brought back to the same things: yummy food, lots of laughs, days packed with organized activities and most of all, a routine. These are all things you can incorporate in you own DIY summer camp to make the very most of it.

Podcasts are all the rage so we couldn’t forget them! Kiddos will love listening to others talk about the topic. I love using podcasts during art time, as a bedtime story or when I’m cooking dinner. Give the kiddos something to keep their hands busy and they will fall in love with listening to podcasts!
