38 Cool New Things to Do This June School Holidays 2018

Breathe. It’s just a week to the June school holidays and non-stop fun for the kids. But there’s lots to enjoy as a family as well. Read on, gather friends, make plans, and enjoy!

It’s almost half a year already! And yes, we’re ready to take a break from school. But the learning doesn’t have to stop. Instead, we’re advocating off-book learning! Think flight training, dragon kiln pottery, survival skills, an overnight camp with dad, and more. There are also festivals and carnivals that everyone in the family can enjoy together. Check out our list of activities below to find out what the kids (and you) can do this June. They’re lined up by date – earlier ones first – so it’s easy to find one for any week of the holidays!
