Welcome to Camp Au Pair in America!

When kids are out of school for the summer, it doesn’t take long for them to become bored and sometimes that leads to sibling squabbles and mischief. Even though they don’t realize it, they are usually missing routine and predictability in their daily schedule. One solution is to make fun plans to keep them busy! 

Each week this summer we will share a different Camp Au Pair theme. These weekly themes are designed to give you ideas to keep your host kids occupied and engaged all summer long. They will also be learning. (But shhhh, don’t tell them that part.) Check back each Friday, for the next week’s theme. This gives you a chance to make plans and gather materials for the next week. For each theme there will be crafts, games, snacks and activities. You can just use these ideas or add your own and customize the themes to fit the ages and interests of your host children.

Here are the themes you can look forward to:

  • Under the Sea
  • Outer Space
  • Nature Exploration
  • Dinosaurs
  • Cars and Trucks
  • Bugs & Butterflies
  • Science (STEM)
  • Backyard Safari
  • Art Experiences
  • Explore the World
  • Pirate Adventures

Check out Summer Fun & Summer Holidays pin boards for even more ideas.

If you get some great pictures doing these activities with your host kids, please send those to your community counselor. We love to share your accomplishments and inspire other au pairs!

Let’s make this an amazing summer!

    I love the variety of themes you have planned; they’re sure to spark creativity and fun. Last summer, we had a blast with activities that reminded me of my own experiences with block blast.

    Each tap is a curve. Each dodge, a breath held. Tap Road takes arcade minimalism to its edge – neon-lit, perfectly paced, and mercilessly beautiful.

    Keeping children busy is really a good solution. What you may not realize is that when children are busier, they also learn more and are more lovely.

    These weekly themes are a fantastic idea! It’s a great way to keep kids entertained and learning during the summer. It almost sounds like you could bring their drawings to life with drawmingo!

    What I love most about BitLife is the freedom. You can choose to be a model citizen or go completely wild and live an outrageous life. The game truly captures the essence of “life simulation” in a way that’s funny and thought-provoking at the same time.

    Thank you for sharing these fantastic theme ideas! I remember doing a “Nature Exploration” theme with my host kids last summer, and we had so much fun collecting leaves and learning about local plants.
