This year may look a little different than past summers:activities during COVID-19 aren't quite the same as your traditional activities. As we continue social distancing and begin slowly reopening in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, some summer traditions-summer camps, outdoor concerts, big fireworks displays, summer vacations-may be curtailed for everyone's safety.
But that doesn't mean 2020 has to be a bummer. Don't focus on all the activities that have been canceled or put on the unsafe list-instead, think about the positive, and all the wonderful things you can still do at home or while social distancing this year.
If you're looking for fun things to do at home-or simply want to focus on the simple pleasures of the season-try some of these stellar activities and staycation ideas that are just as wonderful as your traditional plans. Adjusting expectations to these socially distant or at-home activities may take some mental gymnastics, but by the end of summer, you'll still feel like you got your fill of warm-weather activities-while keeping yourself, your family, and your community safe.
