Kids need to be kids- play, use their imagination, try new things and be themselves. An overscheduled child is a stressed out child. Let them have free time. I did as a child and I think I'm a better person for it. My two kids were involved in activities when they were younger and still do as teenagers but still had/have time to just hang out. Let them be kids for as long as they can- adult responsibilities come soon enough!
