Keep your teens busy this Summer

Most teens are busy texting, "hanging out", and not doing much of anything productive in the Summer. Below are some ideas to keep your teens busy this Summer. Not only will these ideas busy them, but they will learn about helping others and develop lifelong skills. Not to mention many of these activities will look great on college and job applications!

• Provide lawn services for disabled or elderly neighbors, or perhaps for a busy single parent.
