Pack These Essentials on Your Summer Fun Trips

Have you removed the cobwebs creeping on your weekender bag for your summer fun trip? If not, that’d be step one. It was a long winter and a summer long in the making. Before it bids us farewell again, take advantage of the gorge weather and pack that bag with what you need.

Determine Your Summer Fun Needs

Are you staying in a cabin, cottage, camp site, or hotel? Make sure to pack these essential on your summer fun trip, whatever the condition may be.

In fact, they should be at the top of your list for a comfortable summer escape…

Essential #1 – The Sun Kit

Don’t let the sun turn you into a lobster, and spending most of your escape treating your sunburns! Yikes! Reminds me of hte episode when Mr. Crabs from Spongebob went into the sauna and forgot to come out. He was totally cooked!

On this list will be:

  • sunglasses:
    • I’m loving shades from Shades Club. They are super funky and versatile.
  • lots of water
  • hats:
    • I’m learning to love bucket hats, especially the one Shades Club sent me to try. It’s my new fave item.
  • lots of water
  • Cellmaxa (which is a cellulite removal cream) to ensure you’ve got a smooth appearance on those hammys (since you’ll be baring your legs)
  • and that one goes without saying, sunscreen!

The latter applies even when you have darker skin. You’re not immune to skin cancer even if you’re less likely to burn.

I say that because us olive toned folks tend to brush off this sunscreen concept like it won’t ever touch us. But that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Here are some of my recommendations of sunscreen from Coppertone that I’ve been lathering on myself and the kids these past couple of months:

  • ClearlySheer SPF 50
  • Sport SPF 30
  • Sport Kids SPF 60

Make sure to put it on 15 minutes before heading outdoors, and reapply every two hours or 80 minutes in or after going in the water.

Essential #2 – The Rainy Day Kit

If you’ve leaved on the easter part of Canada, you’ve seen your fair share of rain…and it’s no different when you head on vacation.

But don’t let the rain ruin your summer fun escape.

Your packing list should include:

  • Board games
  • Deck of cards
  • Pens and paper…seems odd in a very digital age, right??

…While people will often reach for their phones and tablets during the rain, you can still enjoy some family time without the presence of electronics AND if you’re outside, the last thing you want is for your device to suffer from water damage.

Essential #3 – The Snack Kit

My kids would not only agree with this, but demand it…lol (…and frankly, I can’t blame them), as you’ll need a good snack kit for any trip.

That’d be for the ride there, and once you’ve arrived. My kit usually includes a yummy but healthy mix including:
trail mix

  • granola bars
  • some cut up fruits and vegetables
  • rice or fish crackers
  • and a treat that the kids will love….campfire s’mores!

Essential #4 – The Medical Kit

With all the outdoor time, you’re bound to encounter some minor scrapes and bruises.

Avoid feeling stuck and make sure to pack a first aid kit to be safe, including:

  • bandages
  • disinfectant wipes
  • gauze
  • yeast infections medication such as CanesOral Combi-Pak

The former may seem odd to you but know that yeast infections can happen anytime for women, especially in situations with wet bathing suits.

So keep a CanesOral Combi-Pak to get back to being you and not letting the infection ruin your summer fun escape.

Essential #5 – The Bug Kit

Nothing says summer like mosquitoes and other little insects. Aghhhh! I know, I hate them too!

While a fly swatter might do the trick, don’t forget your Muskol Insect Repellent.  It gives you 8 hours of effective protection against mosquitoes, black flies, and worse of all, ticks. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, if you’ve been listening to the news, ticks are a growing problem in Eastern Canada these days and can cause Lyme Disease!

No thank you, keep that where it came from. So stay safe and pack a Muskol Insect Repellent.

The Gist of it

Now that you’ve almost got an itemized list of your essential kits, you’re on your way to enjoy your fun summer escapes, and focus on which Instagram filter or story you want to post, rather than run out to the nearest shop for sunscreen and marshmallows!

What would you guys include on your summer fun escape list?

    I never think to pack a rainy day kit and the snacks stored in the muffin tin is such a genius idea!

      I couldn’t agree more. It’s one of those things you don’t think of.
