If you work, your H works and you have a kid going into 7th grade what the heck do you do with them during the summer? Is this too young to be home unsupervised, do you find a summer camp (which she is not too thrilled with the idea). My dd is on the younger side for kids going into 7th grade, she is still only 11 years old. My son is living at home, but working and his schedule is not consistant from week to week... I have less than 2 weeks to figure this out. UGH!

Well, I'm SAHMing now (well, SAHGPing) but at that age I would still do summer camps. Kiddo is doing Girl Scout pony camp (she's 9) and a Bible camp for a week and kidlet will be doing Y-camps. At pre-teen they're not old enough to stay home all day over the summer and be latch-key. Maybe for a couple hours after school before you come home from work but not all day.
