What to do during the long summer holiday

Last Updated on April 30, 2023 by Melissa S.

The Long summer holiday between school years is coming up and that means that you need to get your planning in place for what you want to do with your time. If you have children, you want to do all that you can to keep them busy and having fun during the summer weeks, and often that means planning a holiday in advance. 

Holidays are not just luxuries, they are essential to children learning what it’s like to be away from the house for a while! Holidays in an adventure camp can give your children a chance to burn off some energy and blow off steam. If you travel with them through the summer, it can be hard to find the perfect destination to go on but choosing what to do for the summer is all part of the fun. So, let’s take a look at what you can do together during the summer holiday.

• Go to the beach. Most people enjoy traveling to the beach every time they have a summer break. You can get your children to relax on the beach for hours, because they can play sports, breathe the fresh sea air, bring a bucket and spade to build some castles or even dig a hole. They end up with hours of entertainment and all they have is sand and water to play with. You then get a chance to sit and breathe and look at the ocean. You can bring a picnic and wait for the ice cream truck to go by.
• Go on a road trip. A fun alternative for the summer holiday, choose a destination on a map and drive there. Instead of flying to a family friendly destination, pick multiple places to sleep over and get away on the road. You can pack the car and bring a couple of tents, and then pitch at the side of the road whenever you want a break. While you are on your way, you can even see museums, national parks and more!
• Visit theme parks. Theme parks are always an awesome destination for everybody during the summer. Taking the kids to enjoy themselves and experience their first roller coasters or arcade games is just part of the fun. You’ll also be able to join in so that you can go screaming on roller coasters and let off some steam as well!
• Go camping. If you’re into nature and you love to bike, climb, rock climb or ride ATV’s, you should think about camping. ATV camping in the summer is a great activity and there are plenty of long trails that open up everyday. Most camping resorts also offer specialized activities for the whole family to have some fun.

Taking the time to go somewhere over the summer with the kids is going to be an exciting way to spend the long summer break. Instead of sitting around and not going anywhere, bundle the kids together and go and have some family fun!
