Extra-curricular activities during the summer? Do children get no down time at all?

Heh.

Actually, we try and schedule stuff for summer, since it allows to try out stuff, and do things that aren't easy to do during the school year, like Perry's velodrome/track racing class. And the art lessons I'm trying to schedule for Linnea.

This is for violin for AC. She's had a few years of piano, and she's a violin beginner. I want her to try it out over the summer because she has so much more free time.

Depends, I think. My kids like to have a few things going, so I schedule them. I know families who schedule absolutely nothing and some where the kids are scheduled for almost every week over the summer, with days camps, sleep-away camp etc.

That said, Linnea must continue with tutoring and working one-on-one with me and dh all summer. There can be no break from that, poor little nut. :(
