43 Fun Things to do this Summer While you’re Social Distancing

This summer may look a little different than past summers: Summer activities during COVID-10 aren’t quite the same as your traditional summer activities. As we continue social distancing and begin slowly reopening in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, some summer traditions—summer camps, outdoor concerts, big fireworks displays, summer vacations—may be curtailed for everyone’s safety.
