It’s that time of year again—the weather is heating up, and you can go back outside! If you’re looking for new things to try so you can enjoy the outdoors to their fullest, this is the perfect list for you. Check out these four new hobbies you can try in spring and summer.
Gardening
Do you have a green thumb (or do you want one)? Give gardening a try and bring some delicious fruits and veggies into the kitchen right from your backyard. If you’ve never cultivated a plant before, consider starting with potatoes, cucumbers, or lettuce. While some veggies are tricky, these staples grow just about anywhere—whether your thumb is green or brown!
Bouldering
Rock climbing is OK, but bouldering is a real challenge! Instead of ropes and a harness, bouldering employs a crash pad and hand chalk to strip climbing down to the bare essentials. It takes a daring individual to give it a go, but rest assured: it may be difficult, but it’s not dangerous. Try it if you’re looking for rigorous exercise!
Camping
Are you looking for an excuse to get outside more often? Consider taking up camping. This is one of the oldest hobbies in the book, and it stands the test of time for a reason. Connect with generations past and forge your own trail. Make it a solo adventure, or bring your family along on a weekend getaway!
Bowfishing
Bowfishing combines the high-precision hobby of archery with the exciting sport of fishing to create an epic experience. It takes some skill to hit your first fish, but once you do, you and the fish will be hooked. You can best enjoy this hobby with buddies, so call up some pals! For even more excitement, try out bowfishing at night—you’ll need to pick up headlights for your boat, but the thrill is worth it.
Now that you know these four new hobbies you can try in spring and summer, grab some friends and experience something you’ve never done before!
