All our weekly activities are officially cancelled. Iām betting yours are too. Are you now totally filled with dread at the prospect of having to stay cooped up at home separated from your social circle? I am. I need my external structure and regular access to people in order to stay well.
So to calm my nerves, Iām going to dust off a DIY summer camp guide I wrote in 2013 when I ran a totally different blog in Cambridge. We were broke back then too and since summer camp was off the table I wrote up a plan of themed activities, crafts, books and snacks for 10 weeks.
Iām going to share them with you here to help you survive at home while we all get through this period of social distancing. Maybe some structure to your days at home with your kids will help you too. In general this guide was originally written for younger elementary aged kids, but I’ll try to add things for people of all ages.
For each theme, Iāll write a single post and link them here as I write them. Here are the topics:
- Space
- Oceans
- Fine Arts
- Plants & Flowers
- Cooking & Chemistry
- Circus
- Animals/Farms
- Meditation
- Samurai

My original guide included several field trips for every week. I will only include out-of-the-home activities if they take you places where you wonāt be in close contact with other people.
