There are so many ways to continue education in the summer...

One thing that you can do is plan an educational vacation...maybe using a theme

for example spend time in Gettysburg Pennyslvania and use the many resources to

learn about the Civil War, there will be many "hands on" opportunities, incorporate fun

things to do such as a ghost walk, take notes, discuss topics together, make an assignment

and give a "souvenier prize" as a reward for correct answers.

I took my daughter on an educational vacation to Cherokee North Carolina, we studied

native american culture, and at the same time went white water rafting, saw "Unto these Hills"

outdoor drama that was an excellent history lesson on the trail of tears.  We were also able to

get alot of educational information on geography, went fishing and brought home a ton of first hand

knowledge and information.  We had so much fun, we now go every year.

Another way we continue education during the summer is with nature walks, scavenger hunts

and reading marathons on rainy days
