Great Summer Activities

Hey guys and welcome to my seventh blog post! There's two days of school and I couldn't be any more excited! This post will list super fun activities to do in the summer either alone, with friends, with family or with complete strangers! Let's get started!

 

Go to the Beach

Going to the beach is probably the most stereotypical summer activity you could do but that doesn't make it any less fun. You can go with friends or family and hang out near the water all day. There’s so many things you can do while you’re there such as swimming, tanning, playing some beach volleyball, having a barbecue lunch and more. Personally, going to the beach is one of my favourite summer activities because I love swimming and being outside all day (plus I really do like tanning).

 

Have a Bonfire

Bonfires were slowly getting less and less attention but they have really made a comeback these last few years. It’s a great activity to do with some friends. Sitting around a fire, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and just chatting away is a pretty great way to spend a summer night. Just make sure you have some bug repellent for those nights where there are a lot of mosquitos. 

 

Throw a Party

The best time to throw a party is during the summer. There's so many themes you could choose from like a pool party or a Hawaiian themed party. My birthday is in July so throwing a birthday party during the summer is always a cool activity to do. Plan a date and have a get together with some friends. Make sure you have good music playing, tasty snacks out for the guest and cool activities planned and the party will be a hit.

 

Go on Vacation

           Summer is your time off: don’t sit around in your house doing nothing all day! Summertime is the best time to go on vacation with your family to places like Europe and Florida. Due to our hectic schedules throughout the school year, my family doesn't tend to get a lot of vacation opportunities between the months of September to June so when summer comes along we take full advantage. Going on camping trips and to a family cottage are great get aways during the summer. My personal favourite summer vacation remains a trip to Disney World in Orlando Florida.

 

Go to an Amusement Park or Carnival

Carnivals and amusement parks are huge during the summer months. Pick a day and go hang out all day with some friends at either a local festival or a world known amusement park. I personally don’t enjoy roller coasters too much but these types of events always have alternative options like a waterpark, games, live bands and more so everybody can really enjoy themselves.

          There you have it: a list of super fun and enjoyable summer activities. You have to remember the main goal during the summer is to try and stay out of the house as much as possible. If you only get 2 months of summer freedom don’t waste them inside watching movies and laying on the couch all day. That being said, I hope you all have a great and safe summer.
