Summer Activity
Ideas for Kids

Summer’s here, bringing
your kids two glorious
months of freedom and fun
in the sun…

… as long as they don’t get
bored or start spending
too much time in front of
the computer or TV.

Keep your youngsters busy,
happy and active over these
celebrated months with a
little planning and make
this their best summer ever.

So, step away from all those screens and...

If you’ve been on any
summer camp visits,
you’ll probably have a
good idea of whether
your youngster is ready
for sleepaway camp.

Overnight summer camps
offer kids a wonderful
world of outdoor
activities, arts and crafts,
campfires, new friends
and exciting challenges.

Whether a two-week
session or a summer-
long adventure,
sleepaway camp gives
youngsters the chance
to discover …

… so much about the
natural world and
themselves, gaining
confidence, self-esteem
and responsibility…

– along with a whole
passel of new friends
and new skills.

If your child isn’t quite ready for sleepaway
camp, check out local day camps.

Whether private or run by local recreation programs,
day camps have super activities like:
Swimming lessons
Nature explorations
Games

Sports
Archery
Bundle of other outdoor adventures
Rope Courses
Rainy day fun

Often kids can attend for half- or full-day sessions, so
it’s easy to accommodate everyone’s schedule.

Plan some summertime family projects and
events;
the warm weather months present a myriad
of opportunities to spend
quality time together.

Plant a garden;
kids love watching fast-growers like
cucumbers, peas and tomatoes spring up,
even if they’re not crazy
about eating veggies.

You can enhance the green experience with
activities like building and decorating a
birdhouse,
making wind chimes or
just having a painting
party to spruce up the
deck furniture.

Take a day trip to the local park, hit the
beach or take a bike ride around the
neighborhood.

It doesn’t have to be a fancy or expensive
trip; the point is just to hang out together,
relax and have fun.

The more adventurous may like to take a family
camping trip.

Most state and national parks have reasonable rates,
and the opportunity to tell stories around the
campfire and sleep under the stars with your kids is
truly priceless.

If your child is just about ready for the first year at
sleepaway camp, it’s also a great preview of what it’ll
be like to sleep in a cabin out in the woods.

Listen to the night noises of the forest and identify them
for your child, from croaking frogs to chirping crickets;
it’s reassuring for kids to know that those mysterious
sounds may be nothing scarier than a barn owl.

Even though it’s summer
and school’s out, kids can
keep on learning in a
more unstructured,
laid-back way.

Plan some trips to local
museums, zoos, nature
centers or historic sites.

Youngsters especially love
places with hands-on
exhibits, whether aquariums,
science museums …

… or museums just for kids,
so go on-line together and
dig up some fascinating
family field trips.

Closer to home, libraries,
art associations and
recreation department offer
a cool variety of
summertime activities …

… from summer reading
programs to painting
classes and writing
workshops.
