Your kids are out of school for summer vacation. Now what? Summer vacation is a great time to explore the areas around your home that you’ve been meaning to check out. From the beach to the forest and everywhere in between, you don’t have to travel far to be explorers. These summer scavenger hunts for kids will help keep your family to discover new adventures close to home.

SUMMER SCAVENGER HUNTS FOR KIDS

These fun scavenger hunts to keep your kids occupied and entertained during summer vacation. The magical thing about scavenger hunts is that they allow your family to explore your vacation destinations as part of a fun game. You will get even more out of your trips by checking off all the items on these lists.

BEACH SCAVENGER HUNT PRINTABLE

A day trip to the beach is a classic summer vacation adventure. You don’t have to head to the ocean to have a great beach day (unless you live right by the ocean — lucky you!). Even your local lake can provide an exciting beach day! Make your trip even more fun by surprising your kids with a fun scavenger hunt. This Beach Scavenger Hunt will have them finding beach staples like towels and shovels and doing classic beach activities like building sandcastles and searching for seashells.

ROAD TRIP SCAVENGER HUNT PRINTABLE

You can’t reach your summer destination without a bit of travel. Long road trips can be torture for little kids unless you have some fun activities to keep them occupied. Your kids can use this Road Trip Scavenger Hunt to spot road signs, special vehicles, and local wildlife — all from the backseat!

CAMPING SCAVENGER HUNT PRINTABLE

A summer camping trip allows the whole family to spend some quality time in the Great Outdoors. Make sure your children get a taste of the local flora by searching for rocks and flowers (just beware of leaves of three!). Use this Camping Scavenger Hunt to keep track of fun family activities like bike rides and ghost stories around the campfire.
