Summer Fun

Summer is just around the corner and hopefully that means lots of warm, sunny weather is on its way!  The library is chock-a-block full of awesome activity ideas to make sure you and your friends have some serious fun this summer!  Here are a few suggestions to inspire you:

Fort Building – an oldie but a goodie!!  What better way to start the holidays than to create your own secret clubhouse for you and your buddies?  D.I.Y forts can be built indoors or outdoors using materials you find around home – planks of wood, sheets, blankets, boxes etc.  You might need to call on mum or dad to use some tools if things get technical; but remember – the most important part of fort building is letting your imagination run wild!

Camping  – there’s nothing more fun or special than a family camping trip.  Check out some of the libraries’ books about camping to make sure that you have all the essential equipment and supplies before you go – then you can focus on the fun stuff like outdoor activities and awesome nature adventures!

Rocky Shore– with the weather warming up, it’s the perfect time to head to the beach with friends and whanau.  Explore the rocky shore and check out the fascinating creatures that live there.  Don’t forget to take sunblock and a decent pair of footwear for climbing over the rocks; and remember your togs for a beach swim too!
