Summer Bucket List: 5 Fun Family Adventures to Try
Summer is in full swing at Meridian Ranch, and it’s the perfect time to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and make some unforgettable memories with the family. From spontaneous games in the park to starry nights on the trail, there are so many ways to enjoy the season without screens—and without spending much. Check out these five fun family adventures that take full advantage of all the great amenities right here in our community!
1. Camp Out After Stargazing
Who says you need to drive to the mountains for a great campout? Head over to one of Meridian Ranch’s scenic open spaces for some stargazing, then set up a tent in your own backyard for a cozy night in nature. Use a flashlight for shadow puppets on the tent walls, and share your favorite bedtime stories.
2. Backyard Water Balloon Fun + Pool Time
Start the afternoon with a good ole-fashioned water balloon toss right in your own backyard – easy, affordable, and guaranteed to get laughs! Then, once everyone’s warmed up and ready for more, head over to the Rec Center pools. A refreshing dip in the indoor or outdoor pool is the perfect way to finish off a splash-filled day.
3. Nature Bingo Walks
Walking the trails is even more fun when you turn it into a game. Make bingo cards with pictures of birds, bugs, flowers, or trees you might see on the Meridian Ranch trail system. As you walk, mark off each item you spot. It’s a great way to keep kids engaged and excited about spending time outdoors.
4. Game On at the Rec Center
Get your game face on and head over to the Rec Center for some friendly family competition! With multi-purpose courts set up for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and more, it’s easy to jump into a quick match or start a new family tradition. Whether you’re practicing your shot or teaching the kids how to play, it’s a great way to stay active and have fun together – rain or shine.
5. Tee Time + Family Dine
Start the day with a relaxing round of golf at the award-winning Antler Creek Golf Course, with stunning mountain views. Afterward, gather the whole family for a laid-back meal at Madera’s Grill and Cantina, right at the clubhouse. While the grown-ups enjoy time on the greens, the kids can tag along for a yummy meal, making it a day of fun, fresh air, and family connection.
