Free Family Summer Fun!
Now that summer has officially begun and the kids are home for summer vacation, you might be wondering how to fill the days with fun activities without breaking the bank. Here is a list of free activities that the whole family can enjoy. Let the summer fun begin!
- Go to a Park: There are always free parks nearby ready for you to stop by and enjoy for the afternoon. Whether you enjoy an afternoon at your local park, or you plan an adventure or historical learning trip at a National or State Park, it is one of the best free family-friendly options for a summer getaway. Boyertown Community Park, Earl Township Park, Memorial Park, French Creek State Park, Green Lane Park, Valley Forge National Historical Park
- Make a Picnic: Make a couple of sandwiches and devil up some eggs. Then pack your picnic basket, grab a blanket and enjoy a lunch or dinner in your back yard or at a park. Everything tastes better outside.
- Take a Hike: Parks, lakes and other nature areas often have marked hiking trails. They also usually designate the trail’s skill level and provide options for novice hikers as well as experienced ones. Make sure to wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and don’t forget the bug spray! Before you head out, check the park website for times, trail maps, and schedule changes.
- Go to a Playground: Play areas and slides are great places for kids to run and play, but they’re fun for adults too! Set up a play date, take the kids to the playground, or go after sunset with someone special and swing side-by-side.
- Set Up Camp: Take the family on an overnight or weekend outdoor adventure! If you would rather something more low key, try pitching a tent in the backyard. You experience the fun of camping, but the luxury of indoor plumbing. Don’t forget the S’Mores!
- Outdoor Movie: Many towns and cities have free summer outdoor movies. Bring a blanket and get there early to claim your spot! (Sate Theatre of Boyertown is offering kids movies every Wednesday &Thursday throughout the summer for only $1)
- Summer Concert: Free outdoor summer concerts are starting up again. Check out the schedule of events in this weekly event guide below. (Ridgewood Winery on Daffodil Hill Farm in Bechtelsville has a free music every Friday through the summer.)
- Storytime: You can always grab a blanket or pull up a lawnchair to enjoy a good story outdoors. (Boyertown Community Library is having “Storytime in the Orchard” at Frecon Farms every Friday at 9am & 6pm throughout the summer)
- Visit a Farmer’s Market: You can spend your time people-watching or “window shopping” while enjoying some local culture and trying out the free samples. Some markets have live entertainment, too.
- Go to your Public library: The public library has a wealth of free books, movies, music and games for you and your family to enjoy. They also offer many free events for all ages. Boyertown Community Library
- Tour Your Local Fire Station: Many fire stations offer free tours to local residents. Get a group together for some educational fun and be sure to call ahead!
- Family Cooking Project: Make these family meals even more special by inviting kids to help cook. Whether you’re making cool, sweet treats like Popsicles or passing down your secret spaghetti sauce recipe, you’ll be making both food and memories in the kitchen.
- Start a Family Book Club or Movie Night: Choose a family-friendly book for everyone to read and discuss together or let everyone take a turn each week picking a free movie from the library or on your streaming service.
- Family Game Night: Family game nights are great ways to spend time together without spending money.
- Have a Yes Day: Parents can create magic for their children by simply agreeing to say yes to every request for one full day. Yes, you can eat ice cream for breakfast. Yes, you can have another hour of screen time. Parents might want to set some ground rules, of course, but a Yes Day for anything that doesn’t cost money just might become the most memorable day of the year!
- Family Sports Day: Play parents-vs-kids basketball, show your kids how to play HORSE, set up an obstacle course, or make a yard games Olympics. The options are endless for a fun filled day of friendly competition.
- Set Up a Scavenger Hunt: Scavenger Hunts encourage curiosity and observation skills. The best part? They can even be planned indoors as a rainy day activity, too.
- Have a Yard Sale: A classic summer activity that combines decluttering with earning cash. The whole family can take part in gathering, set up, selling, and tear down. The best part, you can offer a family fun outing from the earnings.
