Summer has a way of bringing families together. With school out, longer days, and plenty of sunshine, it’s the perfect season to slow down, spend time outdoors, and create memories that children will remember for years to come.

At Wren’s Hollow Townhomes, we know some of the best family moments aren’t necessarily the most elaborate. Often, they’re the simple experiences—an afternoon at the playground, a backyard game, or a family movie night—that become lasting traditions.

If you’re looking for things to do with kids this season, here are a few easy and enjoyable ways to make the most of summer together.

Host a Neighborhood Splash Day

When the Georgia heat rolls in, water play quickly becomes a summer favorite. The best part? You don’t need an elaborate setup to keep kids entertained. A few simple activities can turn an ordinary afternoon into hours of laughter, fun, and family memories. 

• The Plan: Set up a safe splash zone right outside your door with a classic slip-and-slide, some colorful sprinklers, and reusable water balloons.

• The Core Memory: Invite a few neighbors over, put on a playlist, and slice up a giant watermelon. It’s an easy way to experience classic summer family activities right outside our beautiful townhomes.

Plan a Backyard Stargazing Campout

You don’t have to venture far from home to enjoy a camping adventure. A backyard campout gives kids the excitement of sleeping under the stars while still keeping all the comforts of home close by. 

• The Plan: Pitch a tent or build an epic blanket fort on your patio. Lay down plenty of plush sleeping bags, outdoor pillows, and string lights to create a cozy sanctuary.

• The Core Memory: Fill a thermos with hot chocolate, download a stargazing app to identify constellations, and tell campfire stories. Living in our spacious townhomes in Pooler, GA means having the perfect private outdoor footprint to create a magical night without ever leaving home.

Craft a Summer Time Capsule

Capture the essence of this specific year with a hands-on project that doubles as a beautiful keepsake for the future. It’s one of those thoughtful things to do with kids that helps them appreciate the present moment.

• The Plan: Find a sturdy, weatherproof container. Have each family member contribute a few items: a favorite polaroid photo from the week, a shell collected from a nearby beach, a current drawing, and a quick list of their favorite things right now.

• The Core Memory: Find a special place to store it, and pick a specific date years down the road when you all promise to open it together.

Embark on a Local Nature Scavenger Hunt

One of the best perks of living in our community is the proximity to stunning coastal landscapes. A nature scavenger hunt is an active, educational way to get the kids outside and explore the beautiful environment surrounding our new homes in Pooler, GA.

• The Plan: Create a checklist before you head out. Include items like a smooth grey river rock, a piece of Spanish moss, a pinecone, and a sighting of a local bird.

• The Core Memory: Head to a nearby park or nature trail to complete the hunt. Exploring local outdoor spaces is a fun way to keep kids active while discovering new favorite spots as a family. 

Master a Signature Summer Treat

Cooking together is an incredible bonding experience that rewards everyone with something delicious at the end. Step away from the standard popsicles and let the kids take the lead on a signature kitchen creation.

• The Plan: Try making homemade “nice cream” by blending frozen bananas with peanut butter and chocolate chips, or set up a gourmet DIY ice cream sundae bar on your kitchen island.

• The Core Memory: Letting the kids get a little messy with toppings and naming their unique creations makes routine afternoons inside your townhome for rent in Pooler, GA feel like an absolute celebration.
