Summer is quickly drawing to a shut, so why not take advantage of these final days before the school year starts and spend some fun, active instance with your kids?

My son has been going to a great day camp that summer. He loves it, he gets tons of physical activity, and he’s always filled with stories about the fun things he did. It’s a great program. But, in some ways, the schedule keeps it from really feeling like summer at our house. So final week my son stayed home from camp. I still had to work, but I made certain we did at least one special, fun thing a day. We walked to the park and went fishing, visited the BMX track, stopped at the skate park, used a rock climbing wall, and went to the community center’s pool. Even though we’re nearing the end of the season, final week felt more like “summer” to

me than any of the weeks before. I really enjoyed the special times with my son … and I think he had a great date, too.

Summer fun doesn’t necessarily mean time-consuming, expensive outings either. Check out the gallery to see some fun ideas of easy, low-cost activities to do with your kids. For more kid-oriented, summer fitness opportunities, check out that great editorial by Ace Fitness.
