Family Fun
You can also spend time with you family this Labor day Weekend because what is better than family? If you're stuck on what to do here are a few ideas to get you and your family started.
HIKING
This Labor Day, skip the big parties and barbecues and enjoy spending your day off with the family. Whether it’s low-key or action-packed, Labor Day provides the perfect opportunity to relax and connect with your family. Try these activities for a fun, family-focused day. Grab backpacks, comfortable shoes, and layers of clothing and take off on a nature hike at a nearby park or nature reserve. Teach kids how to read a map by downloading a map of the area online or grabbing one from the park’s office. Bring along a book on leaves and birds to explore and name all that’s around you. |
FOOD FESTIVAL
Get your taste buds revved up and visit the nearest Labor Day food festival. From the Southeast to the Northwest, there are plenty of fantastic food finds during Labor Day weekend. |
TRY A NEW CUISINE
Explore a cuisine that the kids have never tried before, like Ethiopian, Korean BBQ, Brazilian, or Japanese. Before heading to the restaurant, spend some time researching the region, locate it on a map, and find out a few unique customs. |
MAKE AND FLY KITES
Using a traditional kite pattern, paint and decorate kites using glitter, markers, ribbon, and whatever else you have on hand. Using plenty of string and a good gust of wind, fly the kites outdoors. Make it a competition and split into teams, challenge one another to see which kite stays in the air the longest. |

BACKYARD CAMPING
Get up early in the morning and head out camping -- in your backyard! Bring all of the supplies necessary for a day and night out and restrict going inside the house to emergencies only. Pitch a tent, roast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and sleep under the starry skies. This is a perfect way to introduce kids to camping. |
