Summer is probably my favorite season.

I love the warm nights, schedule-free days, and endless amounts of activities.

But with all of the summer fun, it can be hard to keep track of all the great things there are to do.

So I created a family summer bucket list for you!

I’ve broken it down into categories so you can choose one activity from each category every week or however you’d like to do it.

There are still plenty of weeks left of summer to cross several of these off your list, and I bet you’ve done a lot of them already.

Don’t forget to grab your free printable summer bucket list below!
