Family activities will get you and your kids outdoors this summer.
Saturday, June 21, is the official start of summer – begin the countdown until your kids utter the dreaded phrase: “I’m bored.”
Be prepared with a list of family-friendly outdoor summer activities in the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. From the mountains to the sea, opportunities abound for both daily-access trails and docent-led programs. The variety of activity will help avoid another summer of watching television, and better still, offers outdoor experiences that create lasting family memories.
