When I was young, summer meant one simple directive from my parents: “Go play outside.” Fast forward to today, and I can’t let my kids run wild all summer without losing my mind—or my productivity. Instead, I invest countless hours creating detailed schedules and shelling out serious cash (yes, thousands!) to keep my little ones engaged, educated, and blissfully out of my hair during the sweltering months.
The choices are endless: pottery classes, swimming lessons, surfing clinics, sailing adventures, science camps, art workshops, gardening, gift-making, gymnastics, Jujitsu, soccer, and even Irish dancing. As much as I want my children to grow into well-rounded individuals, I can’t help but wonder: where are the camps that cater to my needs? I adore a homemade macaroni necklace as much as anyone, but let’s get real.
Then it hit me: I present to you my concept of Fantasy Camp, and I’m giving away this idea for FREE to the first person who wants to bring it to life—just reserve me two spots!
1. Yes, Mom
In this week-long camp, kids will discover that “yes, mom” are the only two words they should use when asked to do something. Any phrases like “in a minute” or “ugh, why?” will incur fines. This camp is a fan favorite, so register early!
CAMP NOTES: Healthy snacks provided. Kids who complain will be sent to our sister camp, “Shut Up and Eat It.”
2. Shut Up and Eat It
Your child will spend a grueling week learning to appreciate the effort behind every meal. They’ll understand that you made the grocery list, fought for parking, and spent time hunting for items. They’ll learn the motto: “It’s on the table, it’s hot, and it’s not going anywhere—just eat it.”
CAMP NOTES: Recommended prerequisite: “Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me.”
3. Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me
This interactive camp teaches essential nonverbal communication skills. Extended sessions include mastering hands-on-hips, eye-rolling, and dramatic sighs.
CAMP NOTES: Campers not showing improvement may be reassigned to “Yes, Mom.”
4. Bathroom Skills 101
Covering everything from changing toilet paper rolls to proper flossing techniques, this two-week camp is a must for any child.
CAMP NOTES: A 10% discount is available for those also enrolled in “Yes, Mom” and “Don’t You Roll Your Eyes at Me.”
5. Don’t Step Over It; PICK IT UP!
Day one introduces a revolutionary concept: their belongings won’t magically clean themselves. Kids will learn to tackle laundry, towels, and other messes.
CAMP NOTES: This camp is super unpopular with kids, so sign up fast for those moments when a strong lesson is needed.
6. Be Nice to Your Sibling
Essentially a week of bribery and gentle threats, consider this free babysitting.
CAMP NOTES: Good luck with that.
NEW CAMPS ARE BEING ADDED WEEKLY, AND WE WELCOME CUSTOM REQUESTS! LET US DESIGN A CAMP JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS!
SPECIAL NOTE: Due to high demand, husbands can now enroll in any of our camps!
