School's not out yet but all you can think about is the awesome summer vacation your fam has planned. And really, who can focus on algebra when you're going to spend the next couple months lounging on the beach? Check out some of these fun vacation spots that kids around the world are daydreaming about!

Summer Camps:

The first summer camp opened its doors on an island in Squam Lake, New Hampshire in 1881. Only boys from rich American families were welcome at the camp and only five boys arrived that summer to learn to fish, chop wood and stay in the rustic log cabin. But it didn't take long for a ton of other camps to pop up all over North America. Soon there was a place for boys and girls of all colors and religions to learn to swim, go on hikes and do crafts. Today there are over 10,000 summer camps operating in North America with over four million kids attending them. Will you be one of those four million this summer? Tell us about your camp experience!

Amusement Parks:

It's every kid's dream to go to Disneyland at least once. Have you been dreaming of the giant roller coasters and magical tea cup ride, cotton candy you get to stuff your face with and meeting Mickey Mouse? Too bad we don't always get what we want, huh? Take a consolation prize this summer if you can't afford Disneyland, and drag your 'rents to the local fair. Does this sound like your summer vacation plans?

The Beach:

Whether it's the local watering hole, Huntington Beach or Maine, serious sand-lounging time is what lots of peeps like to do during their summer holidays. There's nothing like sipping an ice-cold lemonade in your stylin' new bathing suit and checkin' out all the hotties walkin' by. Are you planning some serious scuba diving time this summer? Write us about it!
