Summer is all about freedom. But with so much free time it can be easy to lose track of time and waste it. Here are some summer activities to make sure your summer is worthwhile. 

1. Go to a body of water 

-Most spend their summer at the pool. And while the pool can be a great time, it gets repetitive. I suggest visiting a lake or going camping with a body of water nearby.  

2. Try a new sport 

-Pickleball and tennis are easy to pick up and play for an afternoon. Roller skating or rollerblading can be done downtown at Gene Leahy Mall.  

3. Make a summer vlog 

-Throughout the summer record you and your friends! You could do one second a day, film crossing everything off your summer bucket list, or just film when you and your friends hang out. 

4. Arcade night 

-Spend the night playing games and having some competitive fun with friends or family.  

5. Photo scavenger hunt  

-Make a list of things to find and split into teams. You and your friends have an hour to find and take a picture of as many things on the list as you can. 

6. Watch the sunrise/sunset  

-Alone or with friends, watching the sunrise or sunset can be so peaceful. Grab a blanket and your favorite spot and go watch the sky.  

7. Escape room 

-Spend the afternoon or evening with family or friends going through clues and solving mysteries to escape. It can be a fun way to stretch your brain. 

8. Go for a hike 

-Hikes can be so peaceful any time of day with company or by yourself. You can do multiple hikes this summer and try different paths and locations.  

9. Yoga 

-Yoga is good for the mind and body. It’s a good way to start or end the day. Try going with a friend and getting breakfast after or do it at home before bed. 

10. Kickball slip n slide 

-Cool off on a hot day with some kickball. Play kickball with some friends but use Slip ‘N Slides to connect the bases.
