As the school year ends, children and teens are counting down to the golden days of summer vacation. For parents, that means finding ways to keep everyone active. Keeping everyone busy with outdoor activities that promote family time and healthy choices is the best way for ensuring a productive summer season for all. Spending time together is an important building block in fostering kids' emotional health and doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to plan.
With a little creativity and action, the best summer for your family yet awaits!
Getting Sporty Outside:
Whether it’s a quick game of pickup football or a casual toss of the frisbee, being outside and active as a family is a great way to enjoy the warmer weather. The kids can invite their friends, you can up the stakes by pledging ice cream for the winner, and everyone will soak up some precious vitamin D. Making outdoor sports and team activities a go-to option will also instil in kids that health and fitness is much more fun than screen-time.
Reading List Challenge:
Kids may associate summer reading clubs with dusty library shelves rather than with a good time. Some great ways to make reading more interesting are:
- bringing the stories outside
- make it a group activity and have everyone read the same book
- chat casually about it over dinner
- place bets on how it will end, and/or where the plot might twist.
And if you challenge them with a list of reading – however short – you can set goals for kids of every age to work toward over the span of summer vacation.
Hot Tub Time:
A timeless relaxation activity, soaking as a family in your Beachcomber is a tranquil way to come together and wind down after a day of summertime activities and day trip excursions. With so many activities available throughout the summer months, family members can often see much less of each other they during the winter. This is what makes your Beachcomber such an important part of your home – it becomes the central place for connecting with one another. Take your discussions into the warm waters, and sneak in some learning and reflection.
Making sure your Beachcomber Hot Tub is always ready for your in-home vacation is vital. Using our Cleartech UVC destroys the DNA of bacteria and viruses, leaving them harmless and unable to spread. As a factory-installed purifier, it works directly through the plumbing and filtration of your Beachcomber Hot Tub. The water is left disinfected without the use of chemicals or other by-products that can be itchy, or strongly scented. This system is fully compatible our Care Free products, making it the perfect addition to your hot tub.
