Summer Activities

By Chloe C on September 2, 2024

Do you feel bored at home during the summer? Fear not! The summertime provides many opportunities to pick up a hobby or visit new places. This article includes a list of many indoor and outdoor activities that are low-cost and interactive.

It often becomes very humid in the summer, but there are still many great activities to enjoy indoors. For example, visiting museums are great for expanding your knowledge in many fields like science, history, or art; some museums also provide free tour guides too! Going to museums can be quite expensive, so make sure to check out your local library—many libraries offer free or low-cost museum passes. On the topic of libraries, they aren’t only great places for reading, but many libraries offer free activities. These activities may range from crocheting to movies, but there will always be something for everyone. Another activity you can do is volunteering at libraries, soup kitchens, or even Schoolhouse.world! Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and improve the world around you! Of course, you’ll also get volunteering hours.

Beyond indoor activities, the sunny weather can make it a great option to explore the outdoors. Picnics, for example, are a great way to spend time with your family/friends, while enjoying some delicious finger foods. While you’re having a picnic, don’t forget to bring along some card games or enjoy some recreational sports. Some great picnic locations include backyards, parks, and beaches. Beaches, in particular, are great places to cool off and enjoy water-based activities like canoeing and fishing. If beaches aren’t for you, nature provides many more options like camping and gardening. You can also take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some hide-in-go-seek, a scavenger hunt, or tag. But no matter how you choose to spend your summer, don’t let the summer heat hold you back!
