Summer is right around the corner! Which is the perfect time to start thinking about a Summer Bucket List.
Creating a fun, unforgettable, and realistic bucket list requires just a little bit of brainstorming so that it can come to fruition.
Summer Bucket List Template
In creating a Summer bucket list, here are some questions to think about to successfully fulfill your goals.
- Where and what do I want to experience and why? (places, restaurants, attractions, etc.)
- Is there something nice that I’ve always wanted to do for someone else/ my community? (ex: Volunteering, donating clothes/money)
- What activities do I want to do solo and with others?
- Is there something that I’ve always wanted to learn or try?
- Can I complete these activities by the end of summer? (Does your summer end when school resumes or when the fall season officially starts?)
- What is my budget and can I afford these activities?
To help you with the affordability part of the brainstorming process, here are 30+ free activities to do this Summer.
