Summer might seem like a long way away with all of your final papers and exams to write, but we’re already getting excited for it! Whether you’re taking the summer off, working, or enrolling in classes, there is always some time to fit in a few exciting adventures. Here is our team’s bucket list for the season to give you some inspiration!
1. Go ziplining on the island! You can check out some awesome courses at West Coast Wild and Adrenaline Zip.
2. Get a tan (but make sure you’re being careful!).
3. Go camping with either a big group of friends or just a few close ones (or both!).
4. Check out some music festivals. We’re really excited for Shambhala and Pemberton.
5. Get your first (or tenth) summer job!
6. For those going-on-nineteen-year-olds – first legal drink in Canada! For the going-on-twenty-one year olds – first legal drink in the States! And for everyone in between – a lot of fun parties.
7. Try skinny dipping! Bonus points if you find a beach that has bioluminescence.
8. Lots of hiking adventures! One of our favorites is the Goldstream Trestle.
9. Learn how to cook and become a master chef.
10. Complete the Grouse Grind in under 45 minutes (and maybe get a Beavertail at the top).
11. Have a summer fling. (You have to do it once, right?)
12. Go island hopping! We love Mayne and Salt Spring Island.
13. Go for a road trip! We’d love to go down the Oregon Coast, or up to Whistler!
14. Spend a day being a typical tourist in downtown Victoria.
15. Go swimming at the Sooke PotHoles.
