As a child, my summers were characterized by a simple directive from my parents: “Go outside and play.” Fast forward to today, and I find myself overwhelmed by the seemingly endless options for enriching my children’s summer experiences. Instead of carefree days of outdoor play, I meticulously plan schedules and invest considerable funds to ensure my kids are engaged, entertained, and, let’s be honest, out of my hair during those sweltering months.
The array of available camps is astounding: sculpting, swimming, surfing, sailing, science, art, gardening, crafting, gymnastics, and even fencing. While I appreciate the importance of a well-rounded upbringing, I can’t help but ponder: Where are the programs that cater to my needs as a parent? I adore a handmade necklace just as much as any mom, but the reality is that I want some benefits for myself too.
Thus, I present to you the concept of Fantasy Camp, a vision I hope someone will bring to life. All I ask for is two guaranteed spots for my children.
-
Yes, Mom: In this week-long camp, children will learn the significance of the phrase “Yes, Mom”—the two words every parent longs to hear. Kids will be penalized for using responses like “in a minute” or “but I did that yesterday.” Given its popularity, early registration is highly recommended!
CAMP NOTES: We provide healthy snacks. Those who complain will be directed to the Shut Up and Eat It camp next door.
-
Shut Up and Eat It: This camp is a rigorous experience designed to instill a profound appreciation for the effort that goes into meal preparation. By the end of the week, your child will understand the complexities involved in grocery shopping and meal assembly. Camp motto: “It’s hot, it’s here, someone else made it, and it’s good—just eat it.”
CAMP NOTES: Prior attendance in Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me is recommended.
-
Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me: This engaging camp emphasizes the value of nonverbal communication. An extended day option includes lessons on body language, such as hands-on-hips poses and dramatic sighs.
CAMP NOTES: Campers not demonstrating progress may be reassigned to Yes, Mom.
-
Bathroom Skills 101: Covering essential skills like changing the toilet paper roll and proper flossing techniques, this two-week camp is vital for personal hygiene education.
CAMP NOTES: A 10% discount is available for those also enrolled in Yes, Mom and Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me.
-
Don’t Step Over It; PICK IT UP!: This enlightening camp introduces children to the reality that their belongings do not magically disappear. They will learn how to manage everyday scenarios, such as laundry and messes in a fun way.
CAMP NOTES: Due to its challenging nature, this camp fills up rapidly—enroll quickly, especially as a consequence for noncompliance in previous camps.
-
Be Nice to Your Sibling: Essentially a week of negotiation and incentives, consider this camp a form of free childcare.
CAMP NOTES: Best of luck!
