Free summer fun...


  • Write, call or chat with a friend.
  • See if there are free concerts in the park in your area.
  • Go swimming in a lake with no entrance fees.
  • Go on a picnic – take what you were going to make for lunch or dinner to a nearby park.
  • Watch the stars – get skymaps.com.
  • Cool off at the library. Most have summer reading programs going on. Ours has it for adults too.
  • Color, draw or paint if you have the supplies.
  • Go for a hike or walk.
