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!
