3. Learn A New Sport

Staying active is good for our brains and bodies. Maybe you play a sport like basketball in the winter months, but don’t have a summer or fall sport. Why not check out one of our Sports Camps and learn something new. From volleyball to football, our coaches will teach you skills for the sport you want to learn. The great thing about sports is that many of them have similarities. With most sports, you’re trying to score points, they all require some level of fitness and endurance, and they’re all fun!

 

4. Learn How To Make Something

Being creative and making something with your own hands is extremely rewarding. If you’re good at drawing, why not step it up and turn your drawings into a comic strip or graphic novel? If you like building things, try making a wooden birdhouse that you can paint and hang on a nearby tree. If you’re not a naturally creative person, it’s okay, because there are a lot of easy crafts that you can learn how to do this summer to help you get more creative. Friendship bracelets, origami, and even slime are all fun arts and crafts projects that let you experiment with color, shape, and texture.

 

5. Learn To Cook A New Recipe

Cooking doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, cooking can be fun, delicious, and extremely rewarding when you learn how to do it. Supervision may be needed when using knives or the oven, but don’t be afraid to ask an adult for help so you can get started on your cooking journey. Pick a recipe you’ve always wanted to make and go for it! Not sure where to start? Checking Pinterest, watching the cooking channels on TV, or flipping through a cookbook are all great sources of inspiration. Before starting, read the recipe and ingredients list all the way through once or twice. You don’t want to get started only to find out you’re missing an ingredient, and you definitely don’t want to skip a step. You can have the recipe open too when you’re making your dish. The best part comes once you’re done though, and get to enjoy your tasty treat! The Happy Camper Live cooking camp will teach you some new recipes too!
