Children:

Ride The Rapids

If your kids are bored in the summer and looking for something out-of-the-ordinary, check out Passages Adventure Camp through Peak Experiences. It is designed for ages 5-17, and can include kayaking on the James River, climbing/rappelling, and mountain biking. We have not yet tried this camp, but it sounds like it will 1)tire out your children, 2) looks well supervised, and 3) definitely will teach some challenging skills.
