As the season of spring begins to wrap up and the heat of summer begins kicking in, plenty of activities unique to summer arise. With so much more freedom than other seasons where school is actively in session, summer also provides the opportunity for people to go out and find activities to do during their extended free time. While there are plenty of activities one can partake in, these five are some of the most fun:
- A trip to the beach – A trip to the beach with friends is a fun idea for summer. Throw some snacks, a volleyball and some water bottles in a bag and have fun in the sun. Indiana Dunes does not charge entry fees, so it is a fun excursion that is also easy on the wallet as well.
- Chalk it up – If it is a nice day and creativity is booming, grabbing some sidewalk chalk and starting to doodle a fun creative idea. Not only does sidewalk provide for a very spacious area, but drawing on it comes with minimal cost. Heading to a local dollar store, grabbing a pack of chalk and drawing as much as one’s heart desires is always a fun idea. There is also minimal clean up as well because the rain will take care of it.
- Soak up the sun – If it is feeling like a low-effort day, heading outside and letting the sun do its job is inexpensive and relaxing. Besides looking tanner, tanning is also a great way to receive Vitamin D. Make sure to not forget sunscreen and to stay hydrated while outside.
- Waterpark fun – Now this activity is on the pricier side, but for around $30, one can enjoy a sunny day at Deep River Waterpark. Whether the day is spent in the wave pool or spent hitting all the waterslides at the waterpark, it is a good way to cool off and have fun.
- Chill with a movie – The price of a ticket will depend on the movie, but if one is tired of the sun and wants to spend the day in air conditioning, a movie is a good plan. Movies can either be horror, comedy or many other genres.
From relaxing in the sun to watching a summer movie, enjoying summer activities can be a relaxing and exciting way to spend the summer.
