How to Make the Most of the Remaining Weeks of Summer

Squeeze Out the Last of Summer Holidays at Stockeld Park

A six-week summer break seems long, but it goes by so quickly. One minute you’re on holiday, the next you’re planning for the new school year! With only a few weeks left, now’s the perfect time to make the most of your summer. 

Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation or simply some quality family time, there’s plenty you can do to create memories before term starts again. In this blog, we’ll share some fun tips to help your family enjoy the rest of the holidays to the fullest. 

What Should You Do With Your Kids Before School Restarts?

1. Enjoy Time in the Sun

During the school year, the weather turns, and you spend most of it waiting for the sun to come back. But why wait then, when you can make the most of it right now? 

Outdoor play offers a fantastic range of benefits, from keeping your little ones active to boosting their much-needed vitamin D levels. There's so much you can do: simply move your family's favourite games outside, enjoy a walk in your local area or let them burn off energy at a nearby park.

Of course, even the most adventurous might utter those two dreaded words every parent fears: "I'm bored." For guaranteed all-day fun, consider a visit to our adventure park, designed to keep your little ones busy and entertained.

2. Plan a Family Day Out

For a great family day out, you need to plan it well. Your main priority is choosing a location that:

• Has activities that appeal to all your children

• Allows you to bring picnics or has places for food and refreshments

• Offers good value for money

• Provides facilities that make the day comfortable (e.g., toilets and baby changing facilities)

• Has options for all weather conditions (e.g., indoor play area if it rains)

• Is close enough without wearing everyone out on the journey there

If you’re struggling to find somewhere that ticks all the boxes, don’t fret - Stockeld Park is the place to visit! We have a packed Summer Adventure in August, featuring live performers such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift tributes, musical acts, and magicians every day.

As part of your ticket, you can enjoy all five of our outdoor playgrounds, including our Magical Maze, Enchanted Forest and inflatables. We also have go-karting, boat rides and trips on the Flying Stocksman for a few pounds per person.

3. Recharge & Get Back to Routine

After plenty of time outdoors, it’s time to start easing your kids back into their school routine. That means earlier bedtimes, less screen time and more structure to their last days. 

Now may also be the time to go back-to-school shopping, so you have everything prepped for the first day back. You’ll need to organise uniforms, shoes, stationery and motivational pep talks to settle any stomach butterflies!
