Ready to dive deeper into the world of summer adventures? Let’s make a splash with some more ideas that will wash away boredom.
Location, Location, Location
- Lake Exploration: If heading to a lake, rent kayaks, paddle boats, or canoes for extra on-the-water fun!
- Waterpark Challenge: If you’re hitting a waterpark, create a silly challenge like finding the most twisty slide or riding all the tube slides in under an hour.
- Beach Treasure Hunt: Create a list of seaside treasures to find (specific shells, driftwood, etc.) or use metal detectors to search for hidden finds.
Top Gear
- Super Soakers: Bring water guns or blasters for friendly water battles on the beach or by the lake.
- Inflatable Fun: Pack some fun inflatable pool toys for the lake or beach—giant floats make amazing photo props!
Make a Big Splash
- Themed Treats: Pack snacks that fit your location (fish-shaped crackers for the beach, popsicles to cool down at the waterpark). Choose easy-to-eat picnic foods to minimize sandy fingers and clean-up.
- Waterproof Camera: Capture hilarious underwater photos or videos of your aquatic adventures with a pouch for your phone that can allow you take some very cool, unexpected, photos!
- Ice Cream Cool Down: Make it a tradition! Stop for ice cream on the way home to continue with the summery treats.
Bonus Tip: If a lake or beach has nearby trails, plan a short hike and enjoy the scenery change before or after swimming.
