I'm working almost no vaulting this summer. I got a running workout program from my coach and added pole runs and plants and penult drills. Also doing a lifting program designed to add more consistancy to workouts. We always tried to vault during the summer, but there wasn't any places to vault near season time, and anyway my run really sucks so the vault work won't help anyway!?!

summer is the best time to jump. two words: SHORT VAULT! no meets, no pressure, just go out, have fun, and work your technique. as far as conditioning goes, just work on getting stronger in the weightroom and stay in shape. Don't do any speed work as you won't be able to maintain the gains you make over the course of the off season. Just get strong and have fun.
