Summer schedule messages

Camps, travel, and long stretches of possession—keep it written and boring.

Summer multiplies logistics: camps, travel, longer possession blocks, and “who has which week.” Put plans in writing early. Leave personal history out of the thread.

Not legal advice. Match your order’s summer language. Use decree-aware answers as a starting point, then verify the signed plan.
