• shake up your beach routine by renting kayaks , borrowing boogie boards , or setting up beach volleyball ( in a less crowded area , of course );
• when your family is ready for the next level , plan a weekend camping trip ( think about pairing up with seasoned campers and booking neighboring sites !) and work in time for a fun scavenger hunt hike or snorkeling , for coastal campers !
If your Girl Scout is hesitant about improving her bond with Mother Nature , just remember : start slow , over-sell your own excitement , and let her bring some of the indoors outside ( like a favorite toy or book ). As spending time outdoors becomes part of your family ' s routine , even the most resistant of kids will cave ( outdoor pun intended ) to the natural adventure and openness of the outdoors .
