An Adventure Awaits Spending Summer Vacations with Family

July 2024

Summer break is here! It's time to have some fun with your family while being kind to our planet! Make a list of places to visit activities to try and things to learn. Try something different, try something new! Here are some fun activities that you can do with your family this summer.



Family Games
Ditch the smartphones and disconnect to reconnect with your loved ones. This summer, let’s spend some quality time with our families. Pull out the old board games and rediscover the joy of playing games like Ludo, Uno, or Monopoly together!
Do chores together!
Don't let chores steal your summer fun! Turn them into family bonding time. Laugh with Dad's childhood stories during cleaning. Learn your grandma’s family recipe while helping your Mom cook. Team up with your siblings for grocery adventures. Even folding clothes is a bonding opportunity! Teach your younger brother this life skill (bonus points for matching socks!)
Spend time with your Elders
Grandparents are treasure troves of knowledge and experience. Listen to their stories, filled with life lessons and laughter. Cherish these golden moments as the time spent with them is a gift beyond comparison. 
Gardening
This summer learn about gardening with your family. Plant beautiful flowers or herbs in your garden. Gardening teaches us valuable lessons about responsibility and patience. Tend to your little plants and watch them bloom!
Splashing in the Pool
Swimming is a life skill that everyone should know. Take a dip in the pool and enroll in swimming lessons. Remember, safety first! Always practice under the watchful eyes of your elders.
Learn something new!
Ignite your creativity and join a workshop to learn a new skill, like pottery, cooking, or painting. It'll be a fun and rewarding way to spend your time.
STEM Activities
The summer is a perfect chance to engage in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. Learn basic coding and watch tutorials on how to conduct fun at-home science experiments for adventure-filled vacations.
Family Road Trips
Hop in your car and explore Pakistan's wonders with a family road trip! It is a chance to appreciate the beauty of our dams, lakes, wildlife reserves and national parks. Pack light, minimize waste and consider volunteering at an animal shelter or park clean-up for a truly green adventure. 
Fun at the Museums
Appreciate our country's rich culture at  museums filled with stories of old civilizations, ancient artifacts, traditional textiles and contemporary art. You can also visit the Pakistan Army Museums and learn about our homeland’s military heritage. It's a fun and educational way to spend quality time together.
Explore Northern Pakistan
Explore the stunning mountains and valleys of Pakistan's north with your family! It is a chance to appreciate the beauty of your homeland. Remember to be responsible tourists. Keep these areas pristine by leaving no waste behind and respect the local culture of the people. 
Summer Festivals
Summer in Pakistan is also a festival season. Cultural festivals like the Shandur Polo Festival and Kalash Festival are some of the major festivals in the summer. Explore the rich culture of Pakistan and enjoy delicious traditional food at special stalls. 
Capture Memories
Don't let these golden summer moments with your family slip away! Turn them into lasting memories by keeping a summer journal. Write down your adventures, big and small. Capture the fun on camera and compile those videos to look back at for years to come. Summer spent with family is precious, so make sure to preserve it!
