Outdoor active independent play ideas for 6 yo?

Looking for things a 6 yo only child can do to burn off energy outside safely with little to no work from parent (where we can just "sit and supervise"). We have a lot of fun plans this summer, both together and with friends, but there are just going to be days when she will need a lot of gross motor movement while us parents will be too tired.

Shows to teach kids Tagalog?

What are some good Tagalog children's shows or movies available online? My 6 year old understands some Tagalog but I want to teach her more. She is also fluent in Spanish and English which will help. We live in the US so something ideally available on YouTube or Netflix but I'm open to any suggestions.

Anyone else feeling "camp counselor panic" about summer?

School is out in a week, and we’ve decided to skip summer camps this year to save money and spend more time together. Because my (only) child's friends will be traveling or in camps, I’m worried about keeping her socialized without draining my own battery. As a major introvert, I really need a lot of time alone.

For those doing a camp-free summer (or who have survived one): How are you balancing enrichment and socialization for your kids with protecting your own sanity and quiet time? Would love to hear your survival strategies or just know I'm not alone! Hit me with your best routines, boundaries, or low-prep ideas!

(Also mad respect to stay at home parents of toddlers and babies who are in the thick of it and do not get breaks from school!)
