I am going to be super bored this summer if i can't think of anything to do! I dont have that much money so yeah. Any Ideas?
Answer
-- Free movies. Many of the larger chain movie theaters offer free movies for families of young children on weekday mornings. This is a great way to get out of the house with your kids. If your children are toddlers, this is also a good way to experiment to see if they are ready to sit through an entire movie; since it's free, you really have nothing to lose.
Tip: Get there early. Free movies often fill up fast.
-- Petting zoo. Many towns have free petting zoos or farms which are open to the public. Take advantage of this if there is one in your town. Children love animals, so this is a nice way to spend the day learning about nature. If there's no petting zoos in your area, visit the nearest pet shop--your kids will love visiting with all of the puppies, kittens and birds.
Tip: Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after visiting any type of animal facility.
--Library. Check your local library for free story time programs and other summer events. Public libraries are known for their free children's programs-- especially in the summer. Ask for a schedule of events and take your kids each week.
Tip: Some programs require pre-registration. Call ahead to make sure your child will be able to attend.
--Hike and picnic. Hike through the biggest park in your area and pack a picnic lunch to enjoy afterwards. Picnicking outside will delight your children and hiking is great exercise! For an extra treat, fly a kite after lunch.
Tip: If you don't already own one, check your local dollar store for inexpensive kites.
--Learn about your town. Learn about your town's cultural and historical background. Visit the historical society and any museums or archives that your town has to offer. Even the county courthouse can be an interesting place to visit!
Tip: If you're looking for something different to do, visit the courthouse and sit in on a local court case. Citizens are usually welcome to sit in on court cases; however, if there's a high profile court case going on, there may be limited seating available to the public.
--Take a free tour. Local TV studios, restaurants, and factories often offer free tours. Call ahead to book a date to learn more about all of the interesting places in your area.
Tip: Check the Internet or your local phone book for information on tours that are open to the public.
-- Museums. Visit a local museum. You may have to pay for admission for the adults in your group, children usually get in for free, so it still will be a relatively inexpensive day. Eat lunch in the picnic's courtyard.
Tip: If your kids are too young to be interested in artwork and paintings, look for museums that specialize in children's toys or antiques.
-- If you can't afford a week away, consider taking a long weekend instead. A few days at the beach or in a hotel still counts as a vacation. Also, if you want to save even more money, go off- season. Book your stay before July 4th or after Labor Day, when rates are the cheapest.
Tip: If you can't book off-season, consider splitting the cost of a hotel with a friend or family member.

what to bring on a camping trip?
Daniel
I am a police explorer and we are having a camping trip (4 days 3 nights). They are bringing the food and shelter, I have never gone camping before so i know very little of what to bring.
Oh I live in Arizona and there is going to be showers in walking distance.
1 more thing we are allowed to bring knifes and all that good stuff!
Answer
You have to ask, WHERE are you camping. Near a beach, deep in the forest trail, mountain, well managed accessible park?
WHAT are you doing? Is it a family event with children? Just adults but relaxed, or "real" camping?
CONDITIONS: Will you have water and electricity? Shower and toilet facilities? Check weather forecast.
Go to the state park website whichever state you are camping and read the reviews and research the details.
But for generalization: cover the essentials.
1. Lighting - Gas/propane/battery lantern, LED headlamps.
2. Sleeping pad/bag and pillow - $5 foam at wal-mart or self inflating pad for about $20-25. or an airbed for about $80. You need to protect your spine if you are not used to sleeping on the ground.
3. First Aid kit, insect repellent, sun screen, citronella candles.
4. Tools - knife, ax, mallet/hammer, small shovel, matches/lighter, multi-tool.
5. Shelter - Ropes, Nylon, bungees. Tarps - In case it rains, most tents are not water proof.
6. Clothing - Minimal essential clothing, they take up space quickly, but don't run out. Or just keep them in the car.
7. Water - Plenty of drinking water, you might have to run to a store after 2 days. More if you plan to do physical activities like sports. And get some Ice while you're at the store. Extra Ice is always good.
8. Coolers - Keep raw meats cold and separate from ready to eat food.
9. Cooking - Propane stoves or coal and fire wood. utensils. Don't forget the propane.
10. Hygiene - Your personal kit, Dish soap/sponges, trash bags.
11. Cash - You never know.
12. Toys - whatever constitute to you as a toy. Board games, cards, musical instruments, boom box, bike, hammock.
I gave you a list not of items but conditions and what to fill them with.
Basically, whatever you do inside, you're just doing it outside.
Coordinate with others and try to help each other.
Camping is about functioning as a community.
If food and cooking are covered, it should even be easier.
You will end up with:
1 large camping backpack - Basic essentials
1 medium cooler - Food/water
1 handheld lamp.
Be safe and Have Fun!
