Summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, full of adventures to remember for years to come. But sometimes, summer can also be boring and uneventful due to a lack of creativity.

Of the 226 Cav students that responded these are the percentages for different activities:

Water is always a great way to cool off on a hot summer day, especially as a community built around a lake. There are plenty of ways you can enjoy the water, such as swimming; of the Cavelero Mid High students interviewed, 84% plan to swim over the summer.

Going outside doesn’t always mean going to the water. Here are some other examples of how to have a great time in nature! Sometimes all we need to do is unplug a little and get away from the big cities. A great way to do that could be camping, which 71% of Cavelero students are excited to do this summer. As a region that is full of mountains, there are lots of activities to do in nature all year round. In summer, hiking reigns supreme, as 58% of students plan to take a hike over summer break. From planting daisies and watching them grow to planting fresh blueberries, gardening is always a good option this summer. 32% of students plan to start a garden of their own. The bike was invented in 1817 by Karl… that’s the whole sentence, just wanted to inform you about that, 17% of students plan to ride one on the mountains or trails. Some bikers just have a need for speed and one way they can do that is via motocross or dirt biking 20% of students plan to do so. Whatever you are doing outdoors this summer make sure to use sunscreen.

You don’t just have to do social things this summer to have fun, and you don’t have to do exciting things everyday to have a fun summer. Not only are there plenty of exciting independent activities you can do, there are also some lowkey ones such as watching TV or, as 78% students selected, listening to music. On the category of music, 15% of students said that they write music, so if you’ve always loved music, maybe try writing some and join these accomplished music writers in our school. Not only do we have talented music writers, we also have talented seamstresses at our school, which consists of 9% of Cavelero students. 25% of students are participating in summer clubs and/or camps which are a great way to stay busy if you have nothing planned already. One great example of a club students can join is summer running. Ran through the highschool, during summer running students meet up 2 times a week in the morning and go on multi-mile runs earlier in the morning. 17% of students enjoy crafting during their free time which is a great way to release creativity while alone. 41% of students are focusing on self care, and a whopping 72% of students are sleeping. There are plenty of ways to have fun while alone and these are just a few.

What brings everyone together, a language fluent in all others, pure joy felt by billions of people around the world… Sports! While you may not always be playing your sport as they say the grind dont stop 41% of students plan to hit the gym this summer and lift some weights.

A lot of students plan to travel during the summer since there is no school to worry about. Students and their families/friends are traveling mainly by car and plane, but some are also traveling by boat whether it be a short cruise across the sound or a fairy taking students somewhere far. The most common in state place people are traveling is Lake Chelan, where students tend to drive to. A lot of students also plan to drive and fly to California. One student, Mia Harris, plans to go to Cali for a lacrosse tournament. Good luck Mia! Students also plan to go to Oregon, Kansas, Idaho, and many other states but these are the most common.

maybe you enjoy singing. Whatever it may be, do what makes you happy and make this the best summer yet.
