Even better is to do some summer volunteering, like this program near me in Madison, WI - http://www.mompop.org/SummerVolunteeringProgram.html - they encourage creative stuff (plan and host a movie night, have an airplane throwing contest and give admission fees to a local nonprofit; host a neighborhood food drive). And if the whole family participates kids learn even more!
