Summer flies by, so don’t let it pass without a bit of adventure. This family-friendly bucket list is packed with easy, joyful ways to savor the season. From outdoor fun to screen-free bonding, a summer bucket list helps keep the whole crew engaged. 

Backyard Campout
Set up a tent, tell stories by flashlight, and toast marshmallows over a fire pit. It’s a simple way to enjoy the outdoors without leaving home.

Visit a Local Farm or Berry Patch
Pick produce and enjoy fresh snacks straight from the source. It’s a fun outing that also teaches kids where their food comes from.

DIY Water Day
Set up sprinklers, water balloons, or a kiddie pool for all-day fun. Add popsicles and towels in the sun for an instant backyard oasis.

Family Game Night Outside!
Bring board games, card games, or outdoor yard games, such as cornhole. A picnic blanket and some fairy lights turn your backyard into game central.

Try a New Local Experience
Be a tourist in your city! Try a new park, museum, or food spot. It keeps summer exciting and helps create lasting memories together.

A little planning goes a long way in making this summer one your family won’t forget!
