More Summer Outdoor Activities for Teens, summers can be long and eventually, everyone gets a little bored if you have an extended break. But with all this time fitting in activities for teens etc and the right activities can be challenging so let’s look at some more choices.
Tour Your Local City For Some Fun Summer Activities
Most cities offer more culture and excitement than the eye can see. Therefore, parents; grab a group of your friends (and your Teena’s friends), and pack some snacks, put on your walking shoes, grab some water, and take a tour of your local city or town for some outdoor fun.
To add some interest, pretend to be a tourist for the day. Visit your local city or towns visitor center, and browse through the complimentary brochures that offer free information on historic and interesting sites in your local area. Look for places that offer free admission. With this information in hand, your tour can begin. You may be surprised how much history your local area has to offer.
Free Local Activities
Many cities offer free art and music activities during the summer months. Activities such as; free jazz concerts in the local parks, free art and book festival, free admission to participating museums, and free aquatic areas to swim in, are often provided.
Through the use of the Internet, local news stations, and local newspapers, you will find a bevy of information on such activities.
Go To Your Local Park
Visiting your local park presents a variety of activity options. A simple game of tennis, badminton, basketball, football, or soccer is a great way to keep your teens entertained for free. If you want to get creative, claim a portion of the park, and set up an obstacle race course.
Backyard Outdoor Summer Activities And Adventures
Sometimes, the most fun things can happen right in your own backyard. Set up an obstacle course, host a hula hoop competition, or even create a time capsule to bury and unearth in the future. These simple yet enjoyable activities are perfect for bringing the whole family together and ensuring that teens have a good time without even leaving home.
Outdoor Games Galore
Engage in classic outdoor games like kickball, capture the flag is always a fun outdoor game, or hide-and-seek with a modern twist. Invite friends over for a day of fun outdoor games that blend physical activity and friendly competition.
Local Library
Rather than buying your children new video games, books and magazines to keep them occupied during the summer, take a trip to the local library. As a kid, I loved checking out books and spending my days reading. Then the books are returned and someone else can read them, rather than watch them collect dust on a shelf. Libraries usually offer music and movies for borrowing, as well.
Nature Hike
If you have nature trails nearby, hiking is a great activity for kids. Not only does it help them stay active, but they can see the beauty of nature firsthand. I grew up surrounded by trees, which was an opportunity to explore trails and see what I could find. If you live in the city, look into wildlife parks that are close enough for a day trip.
Summer Bucket List
Why not create a summer bucket list with a mix of exciting outdoor activities? From conquering new hiking trails to organizing water balloon fights, each checkmark will signify a completed adventure, making the summer feel like a series of accomplishments.
Summer is right around the corner. A time for fun in the sun, and a bevy of fun outdoor activities. With this short list, and a little imagination, you will be able to provide a summer full of free and fun activities for your busy teens.
