During the summer I used to say, “I have nothing to do!” But no more excuses. Here is a list of things to do the next time you are bored!

Picture this: you are a teenager sitting on the couch, devouring bags of chips and gallons of soda, eyes glazed from hours of playing video games, day after day for months and end.
For adolescents, summer is the highlight of the year: no responsibilities, sleeping in until noon, a kitchen full of food, and the sweet smell of independence. Many parents work full time throughout the summer; some go on vacation and leave teenagers with an easygoing relative or friends, and some older teens are even left alone when parents are away. All the structure and scheduling that occurs during the year turns into unadulterated freedom in the summer.
Colorado is packed full of things to do year-round. From family attractions, national parks and outdoor adventures to cosmopolitan cities and welcoming towns, these Colorado vacation ideas will fill your trip itinerary to overflowing. The ColoradoInfo website gives one multiple ideas of how to spend the summer. Colorado communities from Aspen to Colorado Springs, followed by Estes Park and more, offer a lifetime of memories.
Browsing the website, one will come across activities that can be enjoyed with family, groups of friends, or even a boyfriend/girlfriend. Check the event calendar to stay updated. Having fun isn’t always expensive; check the deals and discounts the page has to offer your activity you plan to do; the stress for a summer job will be limited. Along with the deals and discounts, these activities offer group deals. Bring your friends and have a good time.
With options such as Hot Air Balloons, Water Rafting, ColoradoInfo gives you a variety of items. Try something different before the summer is over. Connect with nature, conquer your fears and go for it.
Don’t just get by this summer, counting down the days until September. Wasted time is a wasted opportunity. A bold and exciting summer vacation can be a life-changing time of continued learning and personal explorations for teens.
