Squeeze the Most Out of Your Summer!

If the realization that the summer is already nearly half over has you feeling like you need to scramble to squeeze the most out of your last few days, you’re not alone. But the good news is that there is plenty of time to make some fond summer memories and make this season one that you’ll not soon forget.

And don’t just resign yourself to the fact that you can’t get away this summer simply because you have yet to plan a summer vacation. There is still plenty of time to plan a last-minute getaway before summer comes to a close, especially if you choose an option like a family glamping vacation with Under Canvas. Whether you just want to enjoy the simple pleasures of summer or you need a quick way to take your mind off it all, use these tips to make the most out of all the summertime that’s left.

Summer Activities to Enjoy

1. Take a hike or go for a bike ride.

No matter where you live, there has to be a hiking or biking trail nearby. Taking a day or even just an hour or two to get out into nature on the weekend will help you get that escape you’re looking for so you can come back feeling refreshed. You don’t have to plan some elaborate multi-day trek. Just grab some water and a friend and head outside. Whether you prefer walking or biking, there is always somewhere new to explore.

2. Go to the beach.

Again, pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably relatively close to a beach location. Whether it’s oceanside or lakeside, a day at the beach is refreshing. Don’t overthink this one either. Load up your vehicle and make sure to pack your sunglasses, a towel, sunblock, and your favorite beachside activity and hit the road. Spending a few hours in the sunshine without any responsibilities will not only fill up your stores of vitamin D, but it will also clear your head.

3. Attend a concert.

You can find a live concert to attend somewhere nearly every weekend in the summer. Many towns even host free summer concerts or festivals. So, do a little research and find live music that is in your area, or better yet, plan a road trip. Make sure you pack some wraps, drinks, and blankets, and hit the road. Even if the concert isn’t your favorite musician or band, you’ll be surprised what an experience it is going to a live performance. Music feeds the soul!

4. Go glamping with your family.

If you really want to make the most out of the summertime you have left, then a glamorous camping (glamping) trip with Under Canvas is the way to go. You’ll not only get to enjoy the great outdoors and take advantage of all the summer activities already mentioned, you’ll get to do so in unparalleled outdoor accommodations.
