Social/Activity Day

This is a great, fairly low-stress option for D.I.Y. Day Camp Social Activity Day that can be coordinated as a once a week play day with your friends, your kids friends/parents or even relatives whose schedules allow. So, talk to whomever could be a good fit for this option and explore if this is a plan that can work for them. In my case, I did this option twice a week with two different stay-at-home moms with kids who were my kids friends.

The key here is flexibility for all involved. In my case, one of my friends turned her Day into Movie and/or Library Day followed by lunch and play at the park. Another pal had no particular plan and she and the kids decided what they would do each day in a more spur-of-the-moment approach. Some days they would stay home and do crafts or play games, on others, they would hit the pool and sometimes they do a Field Trip Day or a Sports/Activity Day option.
