Without any plans for summer there is a high possibility you will be spending it in your house. Instead, here are 10 plans that can create a great summer for you and your friends:

Attend a Concert

One of the best ways to spend your summer is listening to your favorite music live. Concerts are a great social experience that allow you to connect with not only the music, but other people attending as well. Additionally, seeing an artist you adore is something many strive to accomplish in life. Which is why it makes it so special for when you do. Attending one will be a memory that you will never forget and certainly once you start you won’t be able to stop going to more. In order to attend you must purchase tickets, Ticketmaster is a site that is quite popular for making these purchases and they have a wide variety of artists to see!

Go on a Hike

Nature is such a beautiful part of life that deserves to be appreciated by everyone. Especially in summer, plants, flowers, trees, etc. are all blooming and radiating energy that is received from the sun. Times like these are easily looked down upon and not taken for granted when they absolutely should be. Going on a hike will give you the opportunity to experience this beauty, while also creating a fun day to spend in lovely summer weather. You can have your friends and/or family join in on the walk as well. A hike would be peaceful and calming, which is a perfect way to spend a day in the summertime!

Plan a Road Trip

Traveling is always a fun way to learn more, gain new experiences, and have loads of fun with the people you surround yourself with. When summer approaches, many use the free time to visit new areas, go on vacation, etc. Therefore, planning a road trip is such a fun idea that can bring such good memories to look back on in the future. Trips tend to ease and unwind the mind and provide travelers with a peace of mind. Seeing new parts of the country, trying new foods, and meeting new people are all wonderful ways to spend your summer. RoadTrippers is a perfect and easy way to locate your travel destination as well as plan your route and find interesting things to see/do on the way!

Swim

When one thinks about summer the first thing that comes to mind is cooling off in the brutal heat by swimming. Swimming is a classic activity for the hot weather. Whether it’s in an ocean, lake, pool, etc. swimming is always an ideal way to spend most of your summer months. This activity is not only good exercise, but it additionally gives you bonding time with your friends and family while enjoying the relief of being cool in the heat. And of course, after swimming there is a perfect opportunity to get a tan!

Visit an Amusement Park

Who doesn’t love roller coasters? Well, if you agree with that question, an amusement park is such an awesome activity to partake in when summer arrives. When you visit you experience thrilling rides, fun games, and delicious food/beverages. Amusement parks have something for everyone whether that’s that tallest roller coaster there or a laid-back easy going roller coaster. Either way, going is a fun and thrilling way to enjoy a day in the summer! Some of the most known and popular amusement parks would be Six Flags, Disneyland, Hershey Park, and so many more!

Picnic with Friends

Picnics are such a peaceful and relaxing activity that allows you to enjoy not only the summer weather but the presence of your friends as well. Catching up with those you care about is such a simple, yet great way to spend time. You only need a few light dishes, some snacks, and refreshing beverages. The options are endless! It is such an easy event that requires barely any planning which adds to the fun. You don’t need many things to have an eventful and enjoyable day. Additionally, the scenery can provide you with such a tranquil state of mind that you don’t get from anything else. The location of your picnic really depends on where you are at that time. Many picnics take place at parks and beaches but picnics can occur anywhere you choose if those options aren’t something you think you will appreciate.

Build a Campfire

Spending time outdoors is always good for you mentally and physically. Campfires are a perfect example. The warmth and the light of the fire can provide you with a strong sense of comfort, especially when you are surrounded by your friends and family. Campfires can be used for roasting marshmallows, cooking certain foods, playing games, and exchanging stories. Of course with a fire you must make sure you take specific precautions. They can be dangerous if not maintained properly. If you follow the basic rules and make sure you safely start and extinguish the fire, it can definitely be a memorable experience this summer.

Reading

Reading allows people to explore new worlds, learn new things, and experience different perspectives. Readers are able to escape from reality and immerse themselves into a whole new world. Relaxing and unwinding after a long day or during the day can make the time you spend filled with peace. You can read anytime and wherever you want. When summer arrives, reading outside is sometimes a better option than being inside the house. You want to take advantage of the weather while you can, which can add to the already relaxing experience of reading a book. So many genres and stories are available which makes a variety of options for you. Once you begin reading you tend to fall into an obsession which has all healthy benefits. Mind Joggle is a website that has access to a selective amount of books that can help you to start falling into the habit of reading!

Get Ice Cream with Frields

If ice cream doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does… Everyone gets overwhelmed and sometimes overheats during the summer. The weather can be brutally hot and humid, or sometimes even breezy. But, either way, having a chilled, cold snack that has numerous flavors is always a top way to spend your summer months. Making the adventure knowing you are receiving ice cream is always rewarding but having your friends attend with you makes it just that much better. Some popular ice cream parlors include Dairy Queen, Baskin-Robbins, and any other place that is local to your area. Its cooling effect that appears in your mouth is what makes it so refreshing during the typical summer heat. Ice cream is such a delicious treat and it isn’t summer without it!

Watch Sunset or Sunrise

Watching the sun in its most beautiful states brings life into perspective. It is a magical experience, perhaps even memory, that nature allows us to see. Seeing the sun set and rise in person are completely different from watching it on a screen. There should be more gratitude towards the Earth and its beautiful aspects of nature. Therefore, spending some of your summer days viewing the colors that are painted in the sky during certain times of the day is so special. What makes this activity so easy is not having to be in a specific place/location. It can be seen from anywhere you choose to be. The summertime is a joyous and eventful season that can be embraced through aspects of nature such as a sunrise or sunset.
