1. Plan a Picnic in a Park in a Neighbouring Town
If your neighbouring town has a park, you can organise a trip there with your friends this summer. Ask your friends to carry foods and beverages. If you have to drive yourself to the park, look for a spacious vehicle to accommodate all your friends. It would be best to look for an all-terrain vehicle such as an ATV if all the people going to the picnic are all teens.
Such a vehicle is considered suitable for recreation—teens and older kids can ride them even without having a driver’s license. But ensure you have some basic knowledge on safety and if any ATV parts may be faulty and need replacement. That’s important should the all-terrain vehicle you’ll use break down in an area you cannot access the services of a mechanic.
2. Walk a Marathon
If your friends are workout enthusiasts, you can arrange a walk to a distanced location. For instance, you can choose to walk together for a distance equivalent to what professional marathoners cover. But ensure the roads you use during the walk have adequate security and plenty of benches that you can rest with your friends when you take a break.
3. Organise a Bike Ride
Biking is among the fun to do activities to help you have some good times with your friends outdoors, especially during this summer when the weather condition is lovely. Ask your friends to come with their bikes and protective gear. You can cycle with them through your town. But ensure you only use the roads with minimal or no traffic to reduce the chances of crashing with other drivers.
4. Plant a Garden
Planting a garden that receives some decent sun is a low-cost activity you can try out this summer with your friends. You can either choose to plant your garden with the aid of your friends. It can also be best to look for a few of your mates to help plant the garden for one of your buddies.
If your friends help you plant your garden at home, don’t forget them during the harvesting time. You can invite them for a cooked meal in your home using the food products you harvest from the garden.
5. Volunteer
There are many activities to do with your friends this summer as volunteers. For instance, you can clean the streets by picking any litter around, paint a house of one of your neighbours, etc. But whatever volunteering activity you choose to execute with your friends, ensure it doesn’t violate your local rules and regulations.
6. Go Camping
Look for a few friends who love camping and organise one in a great location outdoors this summer. Ensure to pack your tent, camping chairs, and anything else you’ll need to complete the outdoor adventure. During the camping period, you can play games, cook your favourite camping recipe or try anything else that will make the activity fun and memorable for everyone present.
