Go on a Hike
There are many hiking trails in LA. On the hike you can look at different herbs and plants that are blended into the scenery. You can also do a nature scavenger hunt where you have to look for different objects and plants on your hike. Walking around your neighborhood is a great way to get outside, too!
Plant a Garden
To get your plants and seeds for your garden, visit your local nursery. It’s best to start your garden during summer when there is sunshine. Put in love and care and you will soon see that you have plants blooming in your garden.
Plan a Family Movie Night
Get together with your family, pick a movie, and watch together. You can get popcorn and your favorite candy to enjoy with your family. If you have family that's far away, you can FaceTime or Zoom with them. This way, you can both watch at the same time!
Go Camping
There are many local campgrounds around LA. Bring your sleeping bag or tent and sleep in the wilderness! You can bring s’mores ingredients and build a fire to roast marshmallows!
Read a Book!
The WW library is putting together a summer reading list! Snuggle up and read a book! If you have younger siblings, you can pick out a book and read it to them! You can even build a fort to read under!
Make a Pen Pal
If you have a friend who’s away for the summer, write them a letter to stay connected. If you meet someone at a camp or on a trip, you can send one too. You can even send small gifts of jewelry or other fun objects with your letters .
I hope these get your ideas for summer going and that all of Wildwood has the best summer ever! See you next year!
