The Ultimate Socially Distanced Outdoor Summer Bucket List for Kids
Summer 2020 is going to look very different from summers past. I am disappointed by the fact that some of our favorite traditions won't happen, but I'm excited to make new ones!
Usually ready for a challenge, I'm sharing what I think is a nice list of socially distanced outdoor summer bucket list for kids.
Most of these 30 ideas for fun outdoors are free or inexpensive. When any of these summer activities does involve materials that cost money, try first to borrow them from a friend or neighbor (tent, binoculars, etc).
If you can't located the item to borrow, try thrifting them if your local second hand store is holding retail hours.
There are so many fun ideas to try, you're sure to find a few the fit your plans.

Memories are made every day, but lasting memories are created with some care.
