Make memories that will last a lifetime this summer! We have a checklist to mark off the adventures that are making Summer ’22 your best yet.

  • Find a waterfall. There’s gotta be one near you. Stand under it.
  • Indulge in a forest bath, or shinrin-yoku, the Japanese tradition of mindfully taking in nature through all the senses.
  • Road triiiiiiip. Doesn’t matter where, does matter what you listen to, and who you’re with. Choose wisely.
  • Have a picnic! Eating outside is romantic, don’t let anyone tell you different.
  • Make a hand-drawn treasure hunt for your kids or loved ones, even if it just leads to a cookie. Find the fun in the unexpected.
  • Play Book Roulette. Head to the Fiction section of your favorite local bookshop, close your eyes, spin around, and grab the first book you see.
  • Watch that movie your dad has asked you about for the last decade. Call him and talk to him about it, because it was actually pretty good!
  • Head to your local art supply store and spend the day painting outside. It’s more relaxing than you’d assume!
  • Find a body of water and just stare at it for a long time in silence. Know peace!
  • Pick flowers and give them to a loved one.
  • Call your mom.
  • Try to skip rocks.
  • Check out a new podcast.
  • Check out your nearest botanical garden. Remember that thing about plants triggering serotonin release? Imagine how good you’ll feel around thousands of plants.
  • Cool off at your local pool, lake, or ocean!
  • Take up a new hobby.
  • Let your tastebuds explore and find a new restaurant!
  • Go see live music!
  • Volunteer at a local animal shelter.
  • Go on a hike at your nearest nature center. Enjoy the outdoors.
  • Visit a record store and find the vinyl album you’ve been looking for.
  • Stop by your nearest Scooter’s Coffee® for a refreshing Quencher or new Malted Mocha Blender!
  • Plant a garden! Visit your nearest nursery and become the plant parent you were meant to be!
  • Go to a sporting event and get your sport on!
