And all of that will help him be an Individual, instead of a mindless drone someday. He needs to discover he does NOT need to be told what to do 24/7/365; that he Does have a brain and can Use it for something other than keeping his ears separated.
My mother claimed that children should be free to roam and laze about for the Summer. Years later I realized that we were relatively poor, so no big, expensive vacations for us … a hand-me-down tricycle had to suffice!
My brothers and I never went to summer camp. We didn’t have the money, plus we moved around too much. I went to 12 schools in 12 years in 5 states. We met new kids, saw new places all the time. Lots of nature in each state! Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, and Texas! At times I hated moving around so much, but I learned to appreciate the rich culture of each place we moved to.

Having a FUN summer, yeah, that would be horrible. Might scar him for life.
