These days travelling abroad with kids is difficult. With all the costs of flights, hotels, food, activities and souvenirs, the price quickly racks up and can leave families in the red long after the holiday has come to an end. While it sounds glamorous to be able to spend a week in Spain, Italy or France, the costs for many families is just too much to bear. If this sounds like an issue you face, why not consider these great staycation activity ideas for your summer holidays with the kids this year.
Camping – It Doesn’t Have To Be Expensive!
Camping is a great way to spend a summer holiday without needing to go too far or spend too much money. The best campsites in Cornwall offer great times for budget conscious families looking to spend some amazing time together while doing something fun and out in nature. Camping is one of the time honoured family traditions that everyone always seems to enjoy and for good reason – it seems to have a little something for everyone. Not only that, but it helps people reconnect and get off their various devices. Check out the below campsite for more information:

Enroll The Family In A Class
Classes that engage the whole family are often some of the best ways to spend time together. Whether it’s an art, pottery, sports or dance class or the like, it can be an immense amount of fun to spend this kind of time together learning a new skill. Many colleges, churches and local arts centres offer family friendly classes that everyone can get involved with, so check your regional area for what’s on offer near you.
Games, Games And More Games
If money is tight and you can’t afford much, consider picking up some great new board or family games. There are many great card games out there such as Uno or Phase 10 that many children are able to play as well which are inexpensive and hours of fun. You can create a new tradition of family game night that doesn’t have to exist just during the summer. Games are always a great way to spend quality time together without phones, TVs or other distractions so you can really reconnect.
With so many cool ways to spend quality time with your family over the summer without spending too much money, it’s easy to see why more people are choosing staycations instead of jetsetting abroad to far flung and exotic places. What will you and your family do this year? We’d love to hear from you!
