Summer Theme Week ideas

In an attempt to keep us all motivated this summer, I am planning themed weeks (including dress up days) for my kids. 

Here is the Current plan. It is a work in progress. I will update with additional schedules as I see what works for us. 

I have also started Pinterest pages for each theme, so I can keep track of new ideas. 

1. Up, Up and Away (Space week); astronomy and rockets (Pinterest)

2. On the Go (Cars, Trains and wheels)  (Pinterest)

3. Animal Farm (all about animals)  (Pinterest)

4. Water, Water Everywhere (boats and water science)  (Pinterest)

5. Traditions (American holidays, history and native cultures)  (Pinterest)

6. Movie Magic (Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc)  (Pinterest)

7. International Expeditions (Pinterest)

8. Medieval Times (knights, princesses and castles)  (Pinterest)

9. Olympics  (Pinterest)

10. Conservation and Earth Science (Pinterest)

Summer Week 1 - Space Theme

As we move into summer, I am attempting to manage our own "summer camp" at home.  I have a 6 and 9 year old, so they are at varying abilities to self direct.  I am also still working full-time, so I need to be able to focus on my own work for much of the time.

The image below is my current attempt to organize our week with fun themes and a mix of digital and screen free activities.  This is not intended as a complete summer camp and still requires some coordination.  It is a group of ideas and suggestions for how to break up the day and have some fun activities to look forward to.

This week is Space Week, to ride the excitement around the recent SpaceX launch.  It includes astronomy activities, as well as rocket STEM projects.

I saved some of the activity ideas on my Pinterest page here.
Another source for kid space websites is here (Great Websites for Kids).

Would love to hear additional ideas for home Summer Camp and space themed activities.

Good luck!
