Something about the warm weather makes you crave being outside in the sun, chasing adventure.
Doing it as a family can be a really fun and rewarding experience that builds memories that last a lifetime. There are a lot of ways that families can be safe but still get their adrenaline pumping. There's much more to do outside then simply going for a walk in the park, and once you embrace it, you'll be craving more.
This year, it's more important than ever for families to get outside and really experience everything life has to offer. There's never been a better time to try something new and discover a new passion the whole family can share.
Take a Hike
Hiking can be a fun and exciting way for families to get outdoors. Many areas feature well-trekked trails that are perfect for families to make memories without posing too tough of a challenge. You can also add other activities to your hike, like a scavenger hunt or a game of "I Spy."
Try Rock Climbing
Rock climbing can be a really fun way to get energy out for family members of all ages. There are a lot of different options, depending on the skill level your family is at and what's available in your area. Many areas boast indoor/outdoor facilities that include walls for all comfort and skill levels.
Learn How To Ride a Horse
Horseback riding is available in so many areas, and it can be so fun for the whole family. Horses are incredible creatures to get to know, and there's nothing quite like sightseeing on horseback. It can open doors to other adventures in other places once you've got the skill.
Go Mountain Biking
If you get a kid to love mountain biking from an early age, you have a lifetime of adventures ahead of you. This can be a really fun activity for the whole family to get the adrenaline pumping.
Enjoy the Views While Zip-Lining
Zip-lining is really thrilling, and there are so many places you're able to do it! It's fun to feel like you're flying for a beat. Some kids courses are as low as 6 inches off the ground, so kids can ease their way to greater heights.
Enjoy the Water in a Kayak
Kayaking can be an awesome adventure for your family. Little kids can enjoy being in a tandem kayak with a parent or older sibling. It's a fun way to get wild in the water and enjoy time out in nature.
Play a Geocaching Game
Remember the summer Pokemon Go came out, and for a moment it felt like we knew world peace? There are plenty of games just like that, encouraging you to get outdoors and hunt for something special. Geocaching is becoming more and more popular, so there are a lot of options you can explore with kids.
Stay Up Late and Stargaze
Find a place where there's optimal surroundings to get a good look at the night sky. Plan a trip or even camp out and stay up late to see all the night sky has to offer. It's an unforgettable view that can also be a learning experience for kiddos.
