Wondering how I resolved my interest in creating unstructured outdoor play for my kids this summer? Here is the update:It's official, we're heading to Orient, New York, population 709 (2000 census), for some mom-grown, homespun, wetlands education, wildfowl watching, surf skimming, journaling, and (fingers crossed) not-so-much cabin-fevering fun!
I found a sweet cottage that was just slightly more money per week than I would have spent on camps, plus. Now, I am left to plan how to structure our time (so that we don't spend every second of the day together), and I can remain on the grid partially to tend to my projects.
As always, if you have ideas, suggestions, send them along.
Stop back tomorrow for a guest post by Margaret Leeson, on summer's subtle parenting gifts.
Now I am crazy jealous. Looks like a great place to disappear with the family and have some great memories. There is nothing on the west coast like this.

Looks like sooo much fun. When we go to vegas I will be sure not to post anything about it as there is no way to hold a candle to this :)
