Should children's summer activities include a balance of fun and educational activities?
I am a great believer in Summer camps. I have had some exposure to them in Chile, the US, Germany, Switzerland and France.In Summer camp we were exposed to having to handle a rabid dog, Copperhead snakes, a fire, a near drowning, religious fanatics, boring food, the Harlem Globe Trotters, really spoiled kids and other fun activities.The best was a camp in the Poconos run by a very tight group from Long Island. There was a very informal working relationship between the owners, the counselors, the senior campers and the new kids.We did not have computer camps back then and I do not regret it.This was obviously the only exposure some kids had to nature, to roughing it, to tough sports and getting in shape. Kids currently are too fat in the US, fun physical activities are more important than educational.

What are the best summer activities in Yellowstone with kids ages 3-5?
There is so much to do with small children in yellowstone. The key is to pace your self and your family. If your kids are like mine you will be up early. Best time to see animals. Split your days into manageable segments. such as driving to a picnic area for breakfast, ( it is cool in the mornings) then a thermal feature hike, then a drive allowing the kids to take a nap. Lunch, a ranger program, a nice short hike. another nap then dinner at one of the lodges and if you still have energy a nighttime ranger program around a camp fire. I recommend staying inside the park if possible. I camped. Thermal featuresMost thermal features, geysers, paint pots etc are short 1/4 to 1/2 mile hikes perfect for little kids. AnimalsBuffalo are everywhere. look for bears, elk, moose, coyotes, eagles, fox, wolves and so much more. better than the zoo! Amazing sceneryJunior Ranger programs geared to young kids.

How can I lose weight by summer vacation?
Concentrate on losing/burning fat. When you lose fat you will achieve the toned look, look slimmer, leaner and overall better. You can try P90X , but P90X costs $125 and it takes 90 days for results. A better choice and even a faster and free program is the specialized fat burning program called the Fat X 12 fat burning workout and diet program. It's a 12 day workout and diet plan you can cycle as many times a you want. The workout videos and diet are free on the Fat X 101 blog. It's an awesome program to burn fat and tone up! Good luck!
How hard is the plebe summer of naval academy?
I am a 2/C midshipman (junior) at the Naval Academy right now and from my experiences and from what I heard from all the other classes that have gone through Plebe Summer is that while the exact activities during the summer change from year to year it is always difficult and demanding on a new Plebe in both mind and body. A normal day starts at 0530 with a workout that can last over an hour of running, pushups, sit-ups, squats and other various exercises. This is just the beginning and on other days there is more exercise to include obstacle courses, endurance courses, and log pt which is you and a group of 4-5 other plebes repeatedly lifting up a log and holding over your heads while you do squats. The cadre (senior midshipmen who train the plebes during the summer) are constantly in your face shouting orders. It is not surprising for some Plebes to lose 50 lbs over the course of the summer. I was very athletic in high school and I still lost 5 lbs. Some other experiences are numerous briefs and meeting that cover every topic from the history of the navy to sexual harassment, a chance to go to the rifle range, and a trip to Washington D.C. At the end of the summer all the plebes go through Sea Trials which is a day long event of physical activities and team building events. Overall plebe summer is very hard and many people will drop out over the course of the summer if they aren't physically and emotionally prepared.
How do people stay active outdoors in Florida in the summer?
I've been living in southwest Florida for about 18 years now. During the summer, the weather can be brutal. I suggest physical activity should be performed in the morning between 6–9, before it gets too hot, or around 7pm onward when it starts to get dark. The heat will not hit you as hard during these hours. Water exercise is also a great way to be outdoors and stay cool, and indoor gyms have great air conditioning, allowing you to get a workout without having a heat stroke.
What do you do in p.e summer school?
