From $300 day camps to $10 ice cream trips, summer fun adds up—fast. But just because your kids are out of school doesn’t mean your budget should go out the window. In this episode, I’m sharing real-life strategies for planning a summer your kids will love without overspending.
Whether you’re navigating camp fees, constant snack requests, or the “I’m bored” chorus, you’ll learn how to create a family rhythm that saves money and builds memories.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The 3-part framework for summer planning: paid activities, low-cost/free activities, and an at-home rhythm
- Creative ideas for summer fun that don’t cost a dime (yes, really!)
- How to avoid guilt spending and use boredom as a teaching opportunity
- Why commissions—not allowances—teach kids real money skills
- How to plan your summer calendar around your actual budget
- Pro tips like Privilege Points, experience jars, and DIY backyard camps
