Summer vacation, planned once and shared

Summer has a hidden deadline structure: camps open registration in February and sell out by March, the good accommodation is gone by April, and the pet sitter for the two weeks you want is first-come-first-served.

Meanwhile the kids' schedules fragment into weeks that look nothing alike — camp weeks, grandparent weeks, the empty weeks nobody planned for until they arrive.

The result is a summer that takes six weeks of admin and still contains the sentence "I thought you were handling that."

How Fam helps

What helps:

One summer calendar, blocked early. Camp weeks, travel, the grandparents' week — laid out in February when registrations open, visible to both parents.

A packing list that travels. The camping list and the beach-week list, saved once, reused every year with minor edits.

The admin as tasks. "Book the pet sitter," "renew the passport," "register for the second camp session" — dated, assigned, done.

How Fam handles this: a shared calendar with per-member views, reusable checklists, and assigned tasks with reminders — $4/month per household. Plan the summer in an evening, enjoy it for two months.
