📖 The Hustle
Run a small summer day camp for 3-5 kids in your home or a local park. Plan crafts, games, outdoor play, and simple science experiments. Charge $150-250 per child per week. Parents save big compared to formal camps, and you earn well for doing fun activities. Run two 3-week sessions and pocket $3,000+ over summer break.
🚀 First Step
Plan a week of activities around a simple theme like nature explorers or art camp, then post your summer camp flyer in local parent Facebook groups.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Keep the group small — 4 kids max — so you can actually manage them safely
- Plan activities in 30-minute blocks with a snack and water break between each
- Have each child bring their own lunch and sunscreen to reduce your costs
