With summer on its way, now is the time to think about all of the fun things you want to do! Be sure to keep your budget in mind, too.

Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and spending time with family and friends. But it can also be a time of financial stress, especially for families with children. The cost of summer activities can add up quickly, from camps and lessons to travel and entertainment. But don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to make summer fun on a budget. Here are some suggestions from DealDash to get you started.

Be Sure to Plan Ahead

Just for starters, one of the best ways to save money on summer activities is to plan ahead. This means starting to think about what you want to do and where you want to go well in advance. Also, the earlier you start planning, the more likely you are to find deals and discounts.

There are a number of ways to find deals on summer activities. You can check websites like Groupon and LivingSocial for discounts on local activities. Additionally, you can also sign up for email lists from your favorite businesses to receive exclusive offers.

It’s Fun to Get Creative

Secondly, there are many ways to have fun without spending a lot of money. Get creative and think outside the box. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Have a water balloon fight
• Go for a hike or bike ride
• Have a picnic in the park
• Go swimming at a local pool or beach
• Visit a free museum or art gallery (Check your library for free passes!)
• Go to a free concert or festival
• Have a game night at home with friends/family
• Go camping or fishing
• Have a bake sale or lemonade stand with your kids to raise money for a summer activity you want to do

Get involved in Your Community

Finally, there are many ways to get involved in your community and have fun at the same time. So, here are a few ideas:

• Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter
• Help out at a local park or playground by filling up a trash bag with litter
