Summer break is a time that both students and teachers look forward to — No homework (or grading), no waking up early, no dress code, and no ID. Sleep until noon, every day is a free dress-down day, lounge by the pool all day– if so desired. Just remember, there are alternatives. We are fortunate to live in an area packed with thrilling experiences and activities all year long. Summer is essentially a blank canvas, so start creating.
Summer break offers a unique chance to pursue interests, gain valuable experience, prepare for your future, and most importantly–have fun. Go explore your surroundings because they have an abundance of things to do.
To make the most of your time and maximize your summer experience, read this curated list of exciting ideas from pafairs.org and see which ones spark your interests.
