🧺 Go on a Family Picnic
Everyone loves a picnic! International Picnic Day is June 18, but really any day is perfect is a perfect excuse to spread out a blanket and enjoy time together outdoors.
Head to your favorite local park, the beach, or even your own backyard. Pack an easy lunch like PB and J sandwiches, fresh fruit, and snacks, or go a little more elaborate if you’re feeling inspired. There’s no wrong way to picnic.
Need a little inspiration? Turn it into an adventure by packing up and heading out on a short hike to find the perfect view, or keep it simple with beach chairs, a cooler, and plenty of cold drinks on a warm summer day. The best part isn’t the food - it’s slowing down and enjoying time together outside.
🦁 Make it a Zoo or Aquarium Day
June is National Zoo and Aquarium month, making it the perfect time to plan a family visit. With school out and summer in full swing, it’s an easy - and memorable way to spend the day together.

🐝 Plant a Pollinator Garden
Ever wonder what a pollinator is? Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and even some beetles help plants grow by moving pollen from flower to flower - and they play a huge role in our food system!
June is National Pollinator Month, making it a perfect time to plant flowers that attract and support these important creatures. Even a small garden, planter, or backyard corner can make a big difference.
Look for Monarch Waystations, which are special habitats planted with milkweed and nectar plants that help monarch butterflies complete their migration journey. You can even turn it into a family project by planting pollinator-friendly flowers at home and watching what visitors show up! Be sure to use native plants in your garden.
