Summer break is pure heaven for your children but isn’t always as much fun for you. The kids quickly lose interest in their toys and start to ask you for things they can do. Instead of waiting for your children to come to you complaining that they’re bored, despite a house and yard full of things to do, have things lined up for them to do. Keeping them busy and happy during the summer will also mean that you’re happy and less stressed. 

Summer Camp

Summer camp is an amazing way for children to make new friends and learn skills they might not otherwise. Whether it’s Wappingers Falls summer camp seattle wa or a science camp, choose one that focuses on things your child is interested in. If your child hates the outdoors but loves to play their guitar, consider sending them to band camp.

Not all summer camps are sleepaway camps. Some are day camps that last for a week or two. When booking the camp, make sure you know which kind it is to plan accordingly. 

Bike Rides

Kids love to get out and explore nature, so take them on a bike ride. However, instead of taking them around the neighborhood, take them somewhere they haven’t been before. If they’re a little older and can handle it, you can even take them on a bike trail near you.

Before heading out, make sure that you have all of the necessary helmets and riding pads. Additionally, plan for each person to have their own water bottle and a couple of extra in case one of the kid’s downs their water. 

Science Experiments

On the days where it’s too hot to go outside, stay inside and conduct science experiments. If your kids are curious about a specific subject, you can focus on that area or simply do something more general. If safety allows for it, let the kids get hands-on and help. Being hands-on will help build their confidence and help them better remember why the experiment worked the way it did.
