Trying to find some things for summer

I have located two (possibly three) summer reading programs but they are for kids ages 12 and under, or for grades 1-6. What about my dd who is 13 and in 8th grade??

I find it to be quite unfair (I dislike that word, am I the only one?)

silly, poor judgement, bad business, [insert a word that would fit this scenario!] that there are not more offerings for those that are older that read a lot. Should there not be 'rewards' for those that are older to receive because they love to read also?? Are these programs simply put in place to 'bribe' the younger kids to read in hopes of receiving something for it? I'm okay with giving the kids a reason to read if the excitement and wonder is not enough from reading. But really, why should the older ones be left out? Granted those kids that like to read for the sake of the experience they get from the reading will most likely continue to read without the 'bribes' but still...why leave them out?

Okay so I was over at Five J's because her post "What do you do in the summertime?" caught my eye. I was thrilled when I clicked on the link to the Half Price Books Feed Your Brain Summer Reading Program. This program is for kids 14 and under! But my excitement soon died... It is only in particular locations and the nearest to me is um, about a day away in Omaha, NE. A bit too far to drive for a $3 shopping card. I tried to locate a possible online submission area but alas, no, I did not find one. So that would be great for many that live in those areas...

So then I went back to Five J's to click the link she posted right about the Half Price Books one, about free and inexpensive summer activities post at MoneySavingMom.com Great! I was sure I would find something there that would be beneficial to us.

Argh!! Not one of those programs will work for BOTH of my kids! Not to mention that we live too far away from any place that would offer any of the awesome freebie/inexpensive activities that are listed.

Okay I know there has to be something that is close-ish to us that both of them can do! There has to be! I will continue to look.

If any of my friends/followers/readers know of any neat summer reading/activities for ALL ages that are either/both online or in the state of Wyoming (southeast particularly), please let me know!!
