Embracing Summer Activities: How the Girl Get After It community is maximizing their summer adventures
As the snow melts and wild flowers begin to bloom, the Girl Get After It community is buzzing with summer plans and activities. We’re squeezing in after work hikes with our extra hours of daylight, joining kickball social leagues, and warming our souls with yoga in the park. If you’re looking to make the most of your summer adventures, you are in the right place.
For those looking to run a race, from local 5Ks to the insane RUT in Big Sky, let your community know and we will show up to be the ultimate hype girls. You may even find a few more girls who want to run with you. We’re all about supporting one another whether it’s through being a training and race day buddy or on the sideline with a cheeky motivational poster.
If you’re looking to make friends and build community this summer, hop onto the Girl Get After It platform and check out your city’s local meet ups. New events are added by the community on the regular, and we are here for it! Step outside your comfort zone this summer and post a get together with the girls. From backpacking trips to puzzle nights, no event is too big or too small for our community.
For the girlies living that city life, look for new ways to move your body during the week. You don’t need the great wide open wilderness to get outside to move your body. Try a new workout class, scour your local bulletin boards and outdoor stores for flyers for active meetups and classes. Step outside your comfort zone and try out the new rock climbing gym in town. City life can often come with limited living space, leading to a lack of good storage for all the outdoor gear required for getting outside. Don’t let this be a hindrance, but a reason to look for local shops renting bikes, kayaks and any other local gear to get you outside in your area.
If low key adventures are your thing, take a mini road trip and see where the road leads. Explore coffee shops and antique stores in a new town. Drive to the coast or up into the mountains for no reason other than lunch with a view. Invite a friend or solo travel with a good book in tow. Throw a dart at the map and go! Not every adventure needs to be epic and we’re here for the occasional chill weekend with a dash of exploring.
For all our creative girlies, take inspiration from the great outdoors and set up camp with paint brushes and journals. Let the creative juices flow as you sit beside a creek or take in a sunset. Create art for the sake of creating and nothing more. Take your embroidery supplies on a hike and listen to the birds sing as you embroider your colorful florals. Find inspiration and let nature infuse your art.
The summer sun is fleeting and will be over before we know it. Make the most of those extra hours soaking up the vitamin d however you want. From epic hikes to journaling with toes buried in the sand on the coast. The Girl Get After It community is built on adventures big and small. To push our comfort zones and build community. No matter what your summer plans are, girl, just get after it.
