Staycations have been popular in years past. Typically, they were an option when money was tight or time off limited. But with the current pandemic, the summer staycation is making a comeback. If you’re staying home this summer, whether by choice or circumstance, try some of these cool “staycation” ideas:

  • Install a pool for family enjoyment. This will offer many seasons of fun. And there are numerous options, including affordable above-ground designs.
  • Plan a day trip in the car. There’s a lot to do on a tankful of gas, even as close as an hour’s drive. Google to learn more about some favorite local destinations or ask friends and family. Taking a scenic drive is a treasured American pastime.
  • Buy some cool camping gear and a grill. Set the kids up in a new camper or tent outside. Get a campfire going, point out the constellations, and enjoy all the perks of camping, at home.
  • Grill out every night. If you have a grill master in your family, he or she can plan a new masterpiece daily – better yet, have each family member design a nightly meal.
  • Have an outdoor movie night. Bring the TV outside and pop some popcorn and enjoy other movie treats. Spread out your blankets and sleeping bags and enjoy the show!
  • Consider a jacuzzi. There’s no better way to enjoy a staycation than by relaxing in a hot tub.
  • Visit a ‘virtual’ museum, park, or zoo. There are many excellent choices throughout the US (even worldwide!) offering virtual tours. Pick a different “excursion” every day.
  • Find some trails. Walk, bike, and hike – get some fresh air as a family and enjoy the great outdoors. Pack a picnic and make a day of it! Many trails are viable options, even when social distancing.
