Pandemic Summer Bucket List
/This summer is like no other. All of my kids camps have been cancelled, and we don’t have the same childcare we normally would have. I’m going to need to be strategic about our summer, especially if I want to avoid fighting, whining and complaining. I’ve come up with a list of activities that you could do, keeping in mind that some museums and other venues will re-open for visitors this summer. If that’s the case and you feel comfortable visiting certain places, don’t forget to check out our 50 Things to do With Kids in Ottawa post for more ideas.
Let the summer fun begin!
Drive-through zoo or online zoo experience
Online National Gallery experience
Count Birds for a Bird census
Repaint/decorate the kids room
Plan weekly learning activities
Find a fun online summer camp (some of your fave summer camps are offering an online version!)
Do a tour of the best splash pads
A water maze with Eco Odyssey
Go for an ice cream crawl (see West end and East end ideas)
Take fun photos around our city (see our Scavenger Hunt ideas from last year!)
Bake some bread
Find a waterfall
Make chalk art on your driveway and street for the neighbours
Build something or start a new craft (e.g. cross-stitch)
