you could go to a movie, swimming, do a couple park (free) days. we have a gymnastics place that will do mini lessons for groups. you could go out for pizza/arcade.....there's a million things. i don't think the parents care as long as the kids are having fun and they don't have to do it! 
i worked for a summer program and we did 2 field trips and 3 swim days per week. the field trip schedule was made out in advance - so u might call and set appointments so you can make up a calendar. also, you need to have a backup incase it rains - even if it's your house.
Good ideas! I can't really do swimming, since I'll have 5 kids with just me. But I love the gymnastics mini lesson idea...and the movie idea too.
Hmmm...keep it coming ladies!
I could do special guests as well...
Ugh, I wish my town wasn't so small, we don't have a ton of options. We do have a university, though. They have an art museum we could visit. Any other ideas on how we could utilize a university??
