Innovative Ways to Have Fun without Breaking the Bank
Summer is officially here and once again you have a house full of energized children to entertain. Children don’t care about how much you’re paying for their activities, all they want is to have fun. If you’re looking for some fun yet inexpensive ideas to entertain your children this summer, you’ve come to the right place!
Explore Their Creativity
Children love arts and crafts. Not only is it fun, but your child will get to explore their creative side while making decisions that will boost their confidence. You can save money by purchasing things like poster board, glitter, paint, stickers, etc. at your local dollar or discount store for everything you may need. Set up an area in your home or outside with an old sheet and let the kiddos go crazy. They’ll be occupied for hours!
Splash the Days Away
What says SUMMER more than the children splashing the days away?! Gather your family and friends and take a long-deserved lake or beach day. Enjoy the sunshine while the children have the best time together and you get a much-deserved break. Another fun way to occupy the children during the summer is by setting up a slip n’ slide. All you need is a tarp from your local hardware store, soap, and water. The children will be sliding all the way to bed while you enjoy a peaceful night.
Be One With Nature
Summer is the best time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. One of the best, most inexpensive activities to do during this time of year is going on a hike. You can search nearby hiking trails by length, toughness, and scenery. Choose the best one for your family, pack a lunch, and enjoy the outdoors. Some hiking trails even include a campground where you can rent a section and sleep under the stars. This is an experience the whole family is sure to enjoy!
A Better Way to Spend This Summer
With Peach State, you can purchase everything you need to keep your children occupied this summer with one of our low-rate Visa credit cards or even better, use your Peach State C.A.R.E.S. Visa Debit Card. It supports our C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, which was established in 2021 with the goal of helping our neighbors with contributions throughout our service area.
With every purchase made using your C.A.R.E.S. Visa Debit Card, we donate a nickel to the foundation.1 Thus far, we’ve contributed over 1.5 million dollars to non-profits, school systems, and the arts in the communities we serve and that amount only continues to grow!
You can entertain your children this summer while also giving back, so those less fortunate can also enjoy what summer has to offer. For more information about our Visa credit card or debit card options, visit www.peachstatefcu.org.
1 $0.05 per transaction of Peach State Federal Credit Union’s merchant interchange income from our Visa Debit Card program is used to benefit the communities we serve. We will determine where/how funds are disbursed. This does not affect members’ accounts, nor will any member information be disclosed. You will not incur any additional fees or charges from this program. Merchant interchange income is derived from fees that a merchant pays to accept credit/debit card payments. The C.A.R.E.S. program may or may not apply to ATM transactions, certain commercial transactions, or other transactions not processed by Visa.
