Family adventures to bring you closer together is a great way to help bond and catch up. It’s easy to for your relationships to get a little lost in the confusing bustle of everyday life with work, school, cell phones, computers, and all of the other screens that tend to occupy our time. The three ideas below should help you learn a bit more about each other as well as have some fun new memories to look back on in the future.
A mystery dinner theatre type of event is fun, adventurous, easy to do locally, and a great option if you’re not looking to go outdoors. Typically you go to a dinner with a group of people and some actors and try to solve a murder mystery, there will be clues given to you as you go.
A weekend, or a week, in the outdoors camping might be just what you need. There are a variety of activities for you to do together, such as kayaking, hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, or board games at a picnic table. End the days around the campfire talking or reading spooky stories or playing more board games (try games like Apples to Apples to get you all talking) and hopefully by the end of the trip you’ll all have caught up on your lives as of late.
Towable tubes are inflatable tubes that are towed behind a boat. The ride is a lot like what you’d expect on a roller coaster, it starts off slow but as the boat takes off the tube picks up speed and soon you’re zipping around on the water having a fast, fun, amazing ride of your life. They have ones for solo riders, but for family adventures you probably want to look at ones that can hold multiple riders, they can hold anywhere from one to a dozen riders so you can find the one that works best for your group.
