How long is your summer season? Mine is 28 days and I couldn't imagine having to keep my two girls occupied and entertained every day.
I have the mod that allows for 21 day seasons. 28 days just felt as if I didn't even have seasons in my game. One week is too short, fourteen days isn't enough, either. I have no trouble keeping the kids 'occupied'. Four of them are Teens, with the second oldest being a Global Superstar. I work on their relationships with potential spouses for the most part, while Erik is busy churning out music and doing concerts, photoshoots and making albums. Basically, he's always busy, but is also dating. The youngest is still a Child, but he enjoys playing on his pirate ship and swimming in the backyard pool. Plus, I have two holidays during the summer. Liberty Day, smack dab in the middle week with Labor Day being the first Monday of Fall. Class resumes on Tuesday of that week. As far as the parents' occupations are concerned, Joseph is an Intrepid Teacher and his wife paints. She's a Proper Celebrity, she's that good at it. ;)
Making them continue through the summer will seriously hamper Erik's ability to keep up with stuff. As it is, he gets his homework done before he sets off on a concert or other such stuff.

If you are already using MCCC, just give the kiddos the desired number of vacation days. You only have to remember to actually phone in every morning to take those days off.
And therein lies the problem. LOL I've messed up on weddings in the past for failing to 'call in' on the vacation. Or the Sim doesn't get around to making that call and sets off to school anyway. Face/palm.
