''Mom, We're Bored!'' -  Summer Boredom Busters on a Budget

Summer camps are a great experience for kids, but according to the American Camp Association the average sleep-away camp can cost over $600 per week per child, and well over $2,000 for fancier tastes. Day camps aren't much cheaper, between $300-$600 per week per child. Below are some budget-friendly activities, which will create wonderful memories for the whole family and keep your kids away from the TV: Welcome to Camp Your Name Here!

Artists in training need encouragement. Create your own dramatic arts conservatory by putting on a family play, including a band complete with homemade instruments, or start a neighborhood mime troupe. You can even download free scripts. Up the ante and host your production at a public amphitheater or stage (check with your local college or parks and recreation center for information.)

Zombie-pocalypse or not, survival skills are fun to learn. NatureSkills teaches about outdoor safety and crafts, including animal tracking and making a homemade bow and arrow. Kids can learn to use a map and compass, and test their skills on a scavenger hunt.

Backyard camping is lots of fun and there are usually no bears to steal your food. Kids love to help pitch tents, make campfires, and tell ghost stories. And don't forget the s'mores - here's ten different ways to make them. Real camping is fun, too. But if you've never done it before, check out this camping for beginners guide.

Don't just walk, discover! Transform any walk into a discovery hike. Check out the National Wildlife Federation's bug hike guide to discover local insect life. Eat The Weeds helps identify edible plants growing wild in your neighborhood. Teach kids gardening for both food and wildlife by starting a backyard wildlife preserve, using pots instead of digging up the yard.

But wait, there's more! Here's fifty free or cheap activities that will keep kids happy and busy all summer long.
