Outdoor Activities to Make the Most of Your Summer 

In today’s age of social media and streaming services, we often find that we don’t spend much time outdoors. But with the warm weather and sunshine, summer is the perfect season to spend outside. But what is there to do? Here is a list of activities for you and your friends or family to do this summer!  

Outdoor Adventures:

Hiking: Hiking is a fun way to get some exercise and enjoy the earth. A quick Google search will show you the closest and coolest trails near you, as well as their distance, difficulty level, view, and much more. 

Cycling: Taking a bike ride is a great form of exercise and a great way to enjoy the sun with a breeze! Many parks have biking sidewalks, trails, and even designated places to bike like the Beltline in Atlanta, GA. 

Boating: You don’t need a big fancy boat to enjoy the lake, river, or ocean near you. You can buy or rent a kayak or canoe for cheap, and you automatically have a whole day’s fun. You can exercise, tan, and explore shallow places big boats can’t go. And if you get too hot, just jump in the water for a swim!

Fishing: You can fish from dry land or out in the middle of the water with a boat. Fishing takes time, patience, and quiet, so it’s not always a family activity for young ones, but it sure is fun! 

Camping: Pack up some camping gear and head to your nearest campground for a weekend in nature. Campgrounds often have communal showers and bathrooms. For food, you can use a camping stove, a campfire, or pick up some fast food on your way there! 

Water Activities:

After a day filled with hiking, cycling, and other outdoor adventures, you might want to cool off and enjoy some water-based fun. Here are some refreshing activities to try: 

The Beach: Planning a day trip or week-long vacation to the beach is an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors this summer! The beach offers swimming, surfing, beach volleyball, sandcastle building, snorkeling, and much more. 

Swimming: Head to your nearest pool to enjoy the sun without getting too sweaty. You can make an entire day of it, or just go for a few hours to cool off. Swimming is also a great source of exercise! 

Waterpark: Waterparks are family-friendly and offer slides, pools, and lazy rivers. If you don’t have a waterpark near you, you can DIY one with a hose, sprinkler system, a tarp, and some soap for a makeshift water slide! 

Tubing: Many places let you rent a tube and float down a designated section of a river. These sections are usually watched for safety, so there’s always someone looking out for any potential danger or flipped tubes. 

Relaxing In Nature:

After spending time in the water, you may want to slow down and enjoy the tranquility of nature. Here are some activities perfect for relaxation:

Picnicking: Have a picnic in your backyard, or your favorite park, or pair it with a trail to enjoy lunch with a view! 

Birdwatching: For those who prefer a slower pace, birdwatching is a great way to sit outdoors without moving a muscle. Learn about local birds and enjoy spotting them in their natural habitat. 

Gardening: Spend time with the earth and the sun and enjoy the satisfaction of watching your hard work pay off. You can grow flowers, vegetables, plants, or fruits, creating a beautiful and productive outdoor space. 

Stargazing: Spend time outside after the sun sets. Watch the sunset, then stay for the stars. Use apps and books to help find constellations and enjoy a snack or ice cream while you marvel at the night sky. 

Family-Friendly Fun:

For family-oriented activities, there are plenty of options that everyone can enjoy together. These activities are perfect for creating lasting memories: 

Outdoor Exercise: Take your indoor workout outside for a change of pace! Bodyweight exercises, yoga, and jogging, are all great options. If you’re looking for more excitement, there are a ton of outdoor sports you could play. You could try basketball, tennis, pickleball, soccer, and so much more! 

Sidewalk Chalk: Perfect for those with a creative flair! It’s family-friendly and offers a temporary outlet for artistic expression. Grab some colored chalk and create characters, flowers, words, or anything else on your driveway or sidewalk.

Berry Picking: Many farms and rural areas offer opportunities for berry picking. Enjoy harvesting fresh fruit and savor the delicious flavors, knowing exactly where your food comes from. 

Remember to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water during these activities to protect your skin and prevent dehydration! Stay safe and have fun! 

By adopting earth-friendly practices, you can contribute to a healthier environment while enjoying a beautiful and eco-friendly outdoor space. If you’re seeking professional help, choose a service provider specializing in eco-friendly practices. They can provide long-term, sustainable solutions for your lawn.

Yardsy has been servicing my lawn for years and it’s never looked better! They test the soil, take the time to explain to me what is going on and they make adjustments each and every time to maximize the health of my lawn. Plus they’re so dang friendly. I cannot recommend them enough.

Nothing but good things to say about Yardsy and the technicians that come and service my yard monthly! They are so stealthy that even when I'm sitting outside on the back porch with my two dogs, that no one even knows they've come and gone. They get in, do the job well, and get out. My yard is weed free and looks so healthy! Attached are BEFORE and AFTER photos! Daquan is the BEST technician!

From a different perspective... I am not a client of Yardsy but from one professional to another they are world class! I have enjoyed listening, watching, and am working towards developing the same culture they have within their organization. They are a talented group of individuals from the top down and can see clearly why people choose them for their lawn and landscape needs! Keep up the great work Yardsy!

I've had the extinct pleasure of partnering with Yardsy for 5 years as they maintain a mixed use commercial portfolio for me that spans across the metro Atlanta area. Jonathan Gillespie and his group of professionals are experts in agronomy and I highly recommend their service for any property type.
