What would you do if you had an entire summer in front of you with no limits? The best summer starts with this bucket list of to-dos! With summer just around the corner, people have already started to make their summer plans. If you haven’t, here is a list just for you. This list is going to be filled with many hot day ideas and fun activities for you, friends, family, and teammates!
Living in Oregon means that there are many outdoor activities and adventures to go on. That includes hikes, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, a trip to the beach, and more! You can always watch the sunset or sunrise and watch the sky with its streaks of orange, pink, and purple as they shift when the wind blows. Late-night evenings with your friends and family are a must for a bonfire. Making s’mores and having late-night conversations while you all sit around the campfire is where memories are made. Artists such as Luke Bryan, Benson Boone, Daniel Ceasar, Chris Stapleton, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Jack Johnson are perfect for campfires.
Other fun activities that you can do with your peers could be some outdoor arts and crafts. You could paint rocks that you find outside with inspirational quotes and leave them for people to take. You could make somebody’s day! Having a chalk contest, making paintings, and doing a drawing competition are all low-energy and cheap things that you could afford.
Baking is an activity many enjoy as a hobby. You don’t have to take it seriously, and it’s all about having fun and trying new things. Cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and little treats are everywhere on the internet, with many recipes. There are so many flavors, and you can almost always cater to anybody’s taste buds. Just make sure you wash your hands, dishes, and clean up your mess so you don’t get in trouble.
Going to a theme park, water park, or church camp is always a hit with the teens nowadays. Depending on how much you want to spend, Oaks Park has ticket prices for teens anywhere from $18 to $48, depending on which package you choose. Great Wolf Lodge in Oregon is a great family-friendly place to take your friends and family. The prices can be a little high, around $150 to $500 per night, depending on how much you are willing to spend. Trout Creek Bible Camp is a popular place for teens in the Gresham-Barlow School District to go. They offer availability for campers from 2nd to 12th grade. For one high-school-age camper, the cost is roughly around $400.
The summer is supposed to be a big break from school, and you need to spend it outdoors, soaking up all the sun that you can get before school starts again. Make the plans to hang out with your friends and go through with them; every day is just another adventure.
