Summer Fun Guide!
FREE or Cheap Summer Fun Ideas
Check out Camp Creativity at Michael’s
Michael’s has a cool craft summer camp that costs just $2 for little ones and $5 for the older kids. You get an hour of peace and they get an hour of creative crafting (supplies included) – sounds like a great deal to me! http://www.michaels.com/camp-creativity
Free Skating All Summer
Hit the rink and let the kids get their exercise with this free kids skating program, available in may cities across the country! https://kidsskatefree.com/
Make a Jello Cake!
It sounds weird – but it’s SUPER delicious 🙂 This CreamSicle Jell-O Cake is a great summery example that everyone will gobble right up! http://mylitter.com/tag/jello-recipes/
Take on a Summer Reading Program
Your kids will be motivated to read books (if they’re not already little bookworms) and they’ll earn some cool freebies from places like Chuck E Cheese & Barnes & Noble! Check out our favorite summer reading programs here. http://mylitter.com/free-summer-reading-programs-for-2017/
Dollar Movie Days
Tuesdays are Regal Theaters are only $1 – and they have a great lineup of kids movies. Check them out here! https://www.regmovies.com/movies/summer-movie-express
FREE Weekends at National Parks
Mark your calendars on these dates and plan a trip to a National Park this summer! This is a great way to explore with the kids without spending a dime 🙂 https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/fee-free-parks-state.htm
Free Bowling for Kids
Beat the heat and head inside to knock down some pins with the kids! Check out how to take the kids to free bowling all summer long. https://www.kidsbowlfree.com/
Glow in the Dark Ring Toss Game
This is a fun way to use up all those glow bracelets and necklaces! See how to play here. http://mylitter.com/glow-in-the-dark-ring-toss-dollar-store-game/
Backyard scavenger hunt!
I like this idea of writing the clues on paper sacks – so they already have a bag to collect their treasures!
Local Library is Perfect Place for Local Fun
U-Pick Farms
Such a fun activity for kids to be involved in picking raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, peaches and more ; Pickyourown.org is a great resource to find U-pick farms; prices should be lower when you pick them yourselves, too. So, it’s a win-win-fun for the kids and cheaper, fresh berries and produce.
REI’s Passport to Adventure Program
An incentive program for kids ages 5-12 to encourage them to get out with their families on bike rides, hikes, nature walks and more. They can earn a free prize by documenting their activities for the summer. You can also find out some great information about local hikes, walks, bike trails and more on their website. Find out more about the REI Passport to Adventure Program HERE. https://www.rei.com/events
Go Geocaching
This is one of the most popular family summer activities. We actually plan to try this out this year! See the details of all of the free fun on the Geocaching official site HERE. https://www.geocaching.com/play
Museum / Science Center Time
Check out your local museums or science centers’ websites to see if they have any free (or discounted) admission days during the month and put those on your calendar. Your local library may also have free family passes to museums or cultural centers.
Does someone have a summer birthday?
Many of these birthday deals and coupons are via e-mail, so sign up in advance to your birthday. In fact, for that reason alone, I strongly suggest creating a new gmail account for these birthday freebies.

Vacation Bible School
Enroll your kids in a Vacation Bible School program at a local church. They typically last a week and are several hours a day, filled with songs, crafts and more to keep your kids entertained and meeting some new kids. They are usually free or inexpensively priced for children to attend.
Go on a backyard camping trip
Just like the real thing with tent and all!
Free Splash Pads!
Why not slather on some sun screen and take the family to a splash pad! Just google Free Splash Pads in your area!
You may share this with all of your friends & family!!
Have a safe & fun summer!!
