It can be difficult to find ways for kids to be constantly active and entertained at your summer camp. To break out of the routine, hop on a charter bus and take a trip somewhere new. Below are some travel ideas to make day trips with your summer camp kids memorable and interesting.

Where Can You Take Your Summer Campers?

1. Hiking

Ride a charter bus to the nearest trails and mountain ranges. Hiking is a fun and interactive way to encourage outdoor activity among summer campers. It’s also an invaluable opportunity to teach them environmental responsibility by directly interacting with nature and wildlife. Having the kids work together to navigate and explore their surroundings is proven to build confidence, foster creativity, and teach them responsibility. 

2. Zoos 

Zoos and aquariums offer a unique educational experience for your summer campers to enjoy. Animated movies and nature documentaries pale in comparison to close encounters with wildlife like lions, bears, and giraffes. Professionals at these sites provide kids with hands-on learning activities and presentations designed to encourage discovery and appreciation of different species. Safari-like tours and habitat exhibits stimulate their imaginations while they have fun running about and examining the animals.

3. Museums

There’s no better parent-approved opportunity for a day trip than a museum. Kids are able to interact with history and science beyond textbook readings and lectures. Museums give them the ability to take ownership of their education and explore their curiosities in a range of subjects. Exposure to artifacts and exhibitions are proven to align with their learning needs and improve their communication skills based on how they express their interests and reactions.

4. Amusement & Water Parks

These parks are practically kid-heaven. Spinning rides, massive slides, and stretches of arcade games are sure to keep them entertained for hours. Rollercoasters, lazy rivers, and other attractions can accommodate all entertainment needs depending on the size and age of your summer campers. With the help of a charter bus, signed permission slips, and a few chaperones, you’ll make the trip an unforgettable blast.
