Go on a Family Hike
Hikes are perfect opportunities to spend time with family and bond with nature. Plan your hiking adventure ahead of time by creating a checklist of everything you’ll need. You can select more accessible routes if you’re traveling with younger ones or adults new to this activity.
Go Camping
Bring on the tents and sleeping bags! Plan to camp in the backyard or at a local campsite if you’d like to invite more family members. You can bird-watch during the day and roast marshmallows around a campfire during the night. As they say, the more guests, the merrier!
Pack a Family Picnic
Are you planning a family cookout but dreading the clean-up after the party? Take the barbecue to-go! Get the family together and schedule a picnic at a neighboring park. You’ll enjoy catching up with everyone without having to squeeze everyone into your home or backyard.
Explore Your Area
Get adventurous as you explore neighboring towns and cities. Check out local historic landmarks, appreciate skylines, and even patron a farmers market for seasonal produce and unique treats.
Plan a Family Tournament
For fans of the Olympic games, you can bring the games closer to home by setting up a summer family tournament. Fill the tournament itinerary with obstacle courses and challenges that are as creative or extreme as you want them. And be sure to have those medals ready for the closing ceremony!
Movie Under the Stars
