I’ve spent a good part of the week getting summer camp registrations lined up for my daughter. There certainly are more options available than when I was her age, that’s for sure. But, here’s one option that you might not have thought about. Maybe it’s time to create your own version of Family Camp!
Have you ever considered taking a family vacation to learn a new skill or sport together? Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
SCUBA – The first time our daughter tried snorkeling was an amazing experience. After a few minutes snorkeling over a small reef she popped up, took her mask off and exclaimed “There’s a whole underwater world down there!” I look forward to the day that she can explore further and do a dive. It’s something my husband and I would like to do as well. What better way to learn than to visit a beautiful island and learn together, as in the video above.
Sailing – Learn the art of knot tying along with sail trim, navigation and maybe even some stargazing while you sail through the Caribbean on a catamaran with your family. There’s something for everyone to learn on this adventure.
Surfing – No family vacation to Hawaii would be complete without a family surf lesson in the shadow of the iconic Diamond Head.
Perhaps a more traditional summer camp experience is what you’re looking for with your family. Imagine a trip to Montana where you can enjoy days spent white water rafting or horseback riding. Nights enjoying a decadent meal around a campfire, before retiring to your beautifully appointed lodge, with all the comforts of home.
No matter which you choose, the time spent learning a new activity or skill, with your family alongside, will provide stories and memories to last a lifetime. Let’s get started planning your next Summer Camp adventures now, click here so we can get started on some planning!
