How about just doing active things as a family? Hiking, biking, swimming? Make it more about having fun than a dreaded chore. If not, maybe check with the school. Mine offered use of the weight room and other activities during the summer.

The Good Kitchen does frozen meals in single serve portions. All made from scratch, organic, grass fed, etc... if you are interested in that. It’s cheapest if you order in bulk. ~$8 per meal.

My SIL couldn't afford to buy my kids gifts and would pick out something from the Toys for Tots charity to give to them. It was sad because we are very well off, and she was potentially taking toys away from kids who would get nothing otherwise.
