How to Have a Great Summer Vacation Without Leaving Your State, Country, or Province

This page will teach you to have a great time this summer without being bored to death.

Go window shopping in your home town.

Plan a sleepover a few days after school ends. Then, give your friends makeovers, go to the mall, get ice cream, and do whatever you and your gal pals haven't done together for a while!

Go to a party one of your friends is hosting. Be sure to ask your parents for permission first.

Go fishing! If you have never done this before, ask your parents for supplies (fishing rod, lures, you know)

Have a good time hiking or walking. Go on some hiking trails, and take a camera with you. Who knows, you might get a good shot.

Beg your parents to take you camping! This is much better than just hiking or fishing, and you can tell your friends you actually did something this summer.

Speaking of camping, try to get yourself enrolled in a camp for a couple weeks. Then you have a nice break from your parents!

Do community service! You will have a good time AND be doing good for the community.

Get a summer job, such as a newspaper route or working through a company (If you are over sixteen). This is a great way to earn money for college.

Most of all, have fun. Even if you don't do anything, it's still a vacation! Sit back and relax.

Tips

• Tell your parents if you plan to get a summer job.
