School holiday activities for teens

I have 13 year old twin daughters and I was wondering what other families with teenage children did during the school summer holidays. When the girls were younger we’d usually split the holidays up between days at holiday clubs, time away with me and my husband and staying at grandparents. But now they’re a bit older understandably they don’t want to do the holiday clubs anymore but I don’t want them just sitting around for days on end staring at their phones.
I suggest they meet friends etc but they’re not very proactive about arranging anything and then they want me to give them money every day, which I just can’t afford to do for the summer!

Jobs would be great but it’s strictly 15 round here ( pot washing) and 16 for anything “front of house” unless you’re happy with them doing CIH labouring or scrap collection which I’m probably not tbh.

Same here. We also have a college in town so lots of 18 year olds with no red tape looking for jobs over the summer.
