If you're not looking to spend a lot of money or money at all, these are the activities you should try!

  • Camp in your own backyard: It's yours already! So why not put up a tent in the backyard and get the fire going.
  • Host a movie night without cable TV: Hulu and Netflix have so many good shows and movies, so why not invite friends over and have a movie night! You could do it while camping in your own backyard and have a sleepover.
  • Check out your local library's events: It'll only cost you a library card to head to these events.
  • Go swimming: Go to your neighborhood pool and invite some friends or check out the local rec center.
  • Be a tourist where you live: You'll never know what is in your town unless you get out and discover!
  • Use free gym trials: If you want to get in shape but don't have a gym, get free gym trials to different gyms in your area.
  • Master a new sport: Get a team together and try out a sport you've never tried before!
  • Make slime: This has been a trend for a couple of years. Look up online a slime recipe and get your ingredients!
  • Photoshoot: Have a photo shoot with your friends in your town or neighborhood.
  • Thrift shopping: Check out your local thrift shop and buy or donate your clothes!
