Not knowing anything about you, thats a bit hard to come up with things that would interest you.
If you are not old enough to drive, hopefully there is bus service or even places to go by bike.
Sometimes, it is the stuff you like, hobbies and such that are so predictable, you already know how its all going to go so it already feels daunting and boring to have nothing but focusing on your hobbies this summer.
It may be better to focus on starting a new hobbie and depending on the hobby some involve more time or less, more money or none. If not a new hobbie exactly, is there anything you've been somewhat interested in trying a goal like say learning how to swim. If swim lessons can't be afforded, perhaps there are several friends who would teach you. Maybe you play an instrument as do some of your friends. Why not practice together and come up with your own set of songs and put on some backyard concerts as a group of people I know for whom music wasn't their main income source. They asked that people make a donation to an animal shelter they had chosen to be able to attend. This way you find out if you have enough interest to get better and hopefully get some gigs for pay later. Anything where you can earn money to do the things you want like go to a lot of movies this summer is great. Depending on your age, it may not be formal jobs that normally hire teens at 16 or so. Then you need to be creative, maybe team up with one other person to have company, offer your services to cut lawns and do weeding, or the two of you get enough dogs to take for walks daily,. These aren't just kid jobs, there are plenty of adults who do this for a living but its cheaper for the elderly to have teens rather than a profession established company do this. Want to be outdoors more? Set up a bike riding club with other teens with nothing to do this summer. Plan your trips. I remember one I did with a youth group all the way a rather long lake in my city and it took an entire day to complete.
As for hobbies for girls, there is trying your hand at crocheting...lots of teens are into that right now or were at the time my girls went to HS and college, get together with some girlfriends and watch the you tube videos on creating fancy braided hairstyles. But there are guys who like some of those things too. How about radio controlled planes, boats or cars. I have seen people past college age still into this hobby but it takes some money.
Or something with no cost like going on a day hike every weekend. One daughter did that, joinin a hiking club and people from elderly to college age would pick her up to have a hiking partner in case something went wrong and gave her a ride to start point and back home. The options are limitless and it takes some time to come up with ideas. And you aren't limited to one but may do a combination of this. Of course I am from a different generation before cells and pc's but I found plenty of things to keep me busy, like babysitting and earning money. Getting paid to pick berries for people who wanted enough to make a pie or two, bike riding, painting, going to beach, photography, etc.. Parents of younger school age kids may need a babysitter and theres a way to earn money again.
But like I said, I dont know you so its hard to come up with things that would work for you. For all I know, you could live in the boonies and have a disability that makes it hard for you to do some of these things.
