What to do with my 12 week summer?

I know after this long summer after GCSEs have finished will be the last period of time for a while where I can do whatever I want, but I don't know what I want to/can do?

Can you go camping alone in this time etc? I just wondered if there's any age restrictions and things.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Ahh mines on 23th July in Birmingham :P
work experience is quite useful I guess. Some people are getting a job, but I don't think I will because I think it might get in the way when I want to do other things.
Start a new hobby? lol idk

Not if you work abroad.
Work! Get a job, save some money (always satisfying earning it yourself), volunteer, plan days out with your friends...?

Same city , different day Lol
I definitely suggest you get a summer job or a part time job, or do lots and lots of work experience in your chosen degree/college course. The more work experience you have the better it will be for you. You can also go abroad and do work experience there. Good luck.
