It\u2019s a question for the ages: What are parents supposed to do with all that free time when their kids head off to an overnight summer camp? <\/span>If you\u2019re one of the legions of parents across the country who sends your kid(s) off to overnight summer camp this summer, this is your once-a-year chance to do something completely different, something just for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case you need some ideas for things to do \u2013 or even not to do \u2013 here are a few helpful tips:<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to Do While Your Kid is at Camp<\/h2>\n

The tech is all yours.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

From the TV to the laptop, from the iPad to Alexa, you can do what you want when you want without having to share or worry about what kind of an example you are setting for someone else.\u00a0 Yes, this is the time when it\u2019s okay to do as you do and not as you say!<\/span><\/p>\n

Do what you like, not what you hate.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Yoga? Tennis? Catch up on reading? Take a long, long walk listening to your favorite tunes for a change.\u00a0 This is that rare time when dishes, laundry, and other chores can wait – and you don\u2019t need to feel guilty about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go nuts in the kitchen and indulge your inner Food Network star.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make that Thai dish you love without having to worry about making it too hot. Try that pasta recipe with all the veggies. Master your favorite adult beverages.\u00a0 Make your own sorbet \u2013 and who cares if it\u2019s not ready until midnight?\u00a0 You can sleep in tomorrow!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a trip.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t have to arrange for childcare, pick anyone up from school or even make dinner. Scheduling life around bedtime, playdates, sleepovers, and lessons is out the window.\u00a0 Go somewhere.\u00a0 Anywhere.\u00a0 Just go!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go anywhere.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kids away at camp can give the idea of a \u201cstaycation\u201d a whole new meaning.\u00a0 When was the last time you just kicked back at home, binged watched your favorite new undiscovered show, slept in, spent time in your garden, had adult friends over to swim or just took a really long shower?\u00a0 Think of this as your chance to get away from it all by looking at home in a whole new light\u2026 focused on you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go to a movie in the late afternoon\/early evening.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Theaters are open again and you are kid-free.\u00a0 What better way to treat yourself to some quality \u201cyou\u201d time than slipping into a movie theater with some popcorn during what is normally the craziest time of day?\u00a0 Popcorn?\u00a0 Milk Duds?\u00a0 An \u201cR\u201d rating?\u00a0 The possibilities are endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a massage.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Never underestimate the restorative powers of a great massage, facial, mani-pedi, or whatever. Now multiply that by two because not only are you returning home relaxed, you don\u2019t have to referee a fight, shuttle anyone to violin, clean up a spill or worry that dinner won\u2019t be ready on time.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 None of that matters because you get to stay relaxed and consider doing it all over again tomorrow just because you can.<\/span><\/p>\n
