How do you get your kids active over the summer? During the school year the kids have gym classes every day, not in the summer. What kinds of things do you do with your kids to keep them active?

Maybe another activity? Swim classes?

My kids attended a 'sports camp' one summer sponsored by the local parks and recreations dept. It wasn't anything fancy - kickball, soccer, tennis, baseball and volleyball were the sports they learned/played during that summer.You might check and see if your local P&R service offers that.

I take them to the park and let them take their bikes or their roller blades. They love it and they run, romp and play to their heart's content.

My kids and I ride bikes and/or walk everyday that the weather allows. We also spend a lot of time outside in the backyard and area parks. I also limit video game and TV time so that they don't sit in front of it all day.

Me and the hubby bring our kids on a camping cum hiking trip, and they seem to enjoy it just as much as my husband and I do. They also go to the beach for some rollerblading. I don't rollerblade though, I just cycle. Very bad rollerblader, no thanks. Even then, I still lag behind. :P
