After she attends her vacation bible school, why not volunteer at the other churches VBS? Every church in our town has a VBS this summer. If one were inclined, they could attend all of them and their summer would be filled. She could volunteer with the little ones, work nursery, work in the kitchen. She would probably enjoy it and meet new kids and see ones from school that she otherwise would not see during the summer.

Summer vacation volunteering
My granddaughter is going into 6th grade. My daughter is at her wit's end to try to figure out ways to keep her entertained this summer vacation. My daughter has a home sewing and monogramming business, and while she can take short breaks, most of the time she needs to work whenever she can, obviously. My granddaughter just wants to go somewhere and shop or have someone over to spend the night, etc. -- all involve spending money! I'd like my granddaughter to get involved in something to learn how to do things for others, not just spend money. Any creative ideas on activities or volunteer agencies who would like an 11 year old? I've come up with Red Cross, Humane Shelter, hospital, or library. She is already going to go to one session of vacation bible school, but that's only 1 week. Part of the problem is, it's a small town and not too many summer programs without driving at least 25 miles to the larger city, or spending over $100/week for things like Y day camp or cheerleading camps, etc.
Volunteering. Church. Political parties.
