Summer Camps

I have one word...UGHHHHH!!!  Why oh why do our kids have to get older and have actual opinions about what they want to do for the summer? =)  Being a working Mom, I HAVE to put my kids (well, now "kid" cause the older one doesn't have to go to camp) in summer camp.  It used to be easy.  I would sign them up for the local park and recs camp and be done with it.  Well, once her brother started complaining about it and decided it was BORING, J. decided the same and then my life became hell.  Finding camps that can encompass the entire summer is virtually impossible.  Fortunately, she is entering 6th grade this year and is now old enough to attend Loyola's summer school program.  UNfortunately, that only goes to July 20.  Now what?  There are still another 6 weeks to fill.  Luckily, we do have a vacation planned in August so that gets me down to 5 weeks but still 5 WEEKS is a long time to fill.  I do have my stand by Culver High baseball camp that she loves so that will cover 1 week and against her wishes I signed her up for a soccer camp that she has loved for 3 years but now decided she doesn't want to go to.  I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.  I have scoured the internet looking for camps that go in to the month of August and they just don't.  I think a lot of people take their vacations in August so the enrollment in these camps is probably really low in August and they figured it wasn't worth it.  So baseball camp, soccer camp and I still have 3 weeks to fill.  I think she will probably end up at the parks & recs camp that is BORING.  She did go to this same camp for 1 week at spring break and said it was ok so hopefully I won't have to hear the complaints EVERY DAY.  I had my summers to myself.  I was so fortunate that my Mom didn't work so I just hung out.  Not sure if that was good or bad.  I loved it but probably would've also loved going to camp and playing with other kids.  Sometimes I feel like my kids just don't appreciate all that they have and get.  Ho-hum.....I will stop complaining now and continue to look for camps for my little diva.  =)
