Someone once told me you only get 18 summers with your children. That statement has stuck with me forever more. Eighteen summers to squeeze in as much fun as possible, live in the moment and make as many memories as possible. Each summer for as long as I can remember my girls and I have gathered together at the kitchen table and created our very own Summer Bucket Lists. When those girls were little, this list included things like learning how to swim with faces in the water, bubble parties and making sparkly slime. As the years flew by, the lists have morphed and changed but one thing has remained the same; the idea that we squeeze in as much into our two months of freedom as possible. As my youngest breaks free of elementary school and I now have two girls in High School I bring to you; the Ultimate Summer Bucket List For Teens. Hope you can find a little fun here for you and your families.

I love your list but I have to say some of these things would be on the adult summer bucket list, Just saying !
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
What a good bucket list you’ve made. I’ll bet you all had lots of fun over the summer. My kids are all adults now so there aren’t any bucket lists for us. 🙂
Victoria Ess says
This sounds like a really fun list! Great way to pass the summer!
Cheryl says
What a great list to make the most of summer 🙂
Tracie says
Stealing some of your ideas. Thanks!

Reading the list must be putting me in contact with the lost teen inside me. We did several on our beach trip a couple of weeks ago–look out laser tag arena. Haha. Happy Canada Day to you and your family.
Andrea says

Lynda Cook says
That is one fun bucket list, there is no reason to be bored with a list like that one!!
Stephanie says
I just print it and keep it on the fridge for inspiration 🙂
Krista M says
I’m proud to say my (pre)teen has done most of these things on the list! Even getting a henna tattoo! But she hasn’t yet ever done the “stay up all night” one. Not sure I’d want to hang around her grumpiness the next day. haha.
Stephanie says
The grumpiness the next day can be a tough one, but I figure it’s a right of passage 🙂
mrdisco says
i’m an adult and i want to do those things
Stephanie says
Oh I will be playing right along with them! 🙂
Melinda L. says
Looks like an awesome summer bucket list! I would add karaoke and zip-lining to that list, but that’s just me 🙂
Stephanie says
How did we forget Zip-lining??
Rosie says
that does sound like a fun bucket list. I would add to read a few good books!!
Stephanie says
You can never have too many books! Have you read any good one’s lately? I’m just finishing The Good Girl.
