Summertime is a great time to make lots and lots of wonderful memories with loved ones. For seniors, however, there are risks to take into account when it comes to spending a lot of time in the heat. Luckily, there are lots of things you can do in the summer that are fun, and still safe and accessible for almost any senior! If you are a senior living in Centennial, keep reading to learn more about some of the amazing summertime family fun activities that you can enjoy too!

Go to a Concert

Few things bring people together quite as much as music. If you and your family have similar taste in music, a summer concert could be a great way to spend time together. Many venues are either completely indoors, or will offer shade and water in different areas if it is an outdoor concert. Whatever the case may be, make sure you bring everything you need to have a safe and fun experience. A few things you could take include: a parasol, lightweight cardigan to cover exposed skin, a reusable water bottle, medications you need, handheld fan, earplugs, sunscreen, and sunglasses. All of these items can help you have a fabulous experience, without having to worry as much about how rising temperatures can impact your health.

Share Hobbies

Sharing hobbies with one another is a perfect way to make lifelong memories with your loved ones this summer. Have everyone get the supplies for their favorite hobby, and come together to teach each other how to do each one. This can be a fun weekend activity, or something you can do once a week to make/do fun things together! When you and your loved ones get to share what you all enjoy the most, it can be a truly remarkable bonding experience. This is especially true if you are a senior in independent living in Centennial. With all the possibilities available, you and your family can be sharing hobbies and having family fun all summer long.

Fruit Picking

Going fruit picking is a very fun and rewarding summertime activity. There are many different farms where you can go pick seasonal summer fruits, and even get to eat what you find! This is a great way to spend quality time with your family, and get to enjoy a healthy snack at the same time! Just make sure the farm you choose has plenty of shade; and remember to bring water, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. to keep yourself safe as well. Going fruit picking can also be the perfect opportunity to try out some new recipes together. Then, you all get to truly enjoy the “fruits” of your labor!
