Themed Vacation with Kids
Learning
or Volunteering Vacation with Kids. Are you looking for "something different" for your
next family vacation?
You could theme your vacation by picking your favorite music and touring the
city it came from, or your family's favorite TV show or movie and do the same.
Or you could make the experience one that changes your kids life or other
people's lives.
These days we don't always have time to have family dinners around the dining
room table, or regular "Family Time". Make your family vacation the time
to bond - what better way to do it then by learning something together or
making a difference together!
Take out your creativity cap, call a family meeting and come up with a themed
vacation!
Take a hands on learning vacation with kids.
- Does your family want to learn a new sport?
- Learn about the ancient world?
- Learn more about Dinosaurs?
- Learn about Evolution? or Wildlife?
Go to a resort that offers the PADI
scuba certificate - You can become certified divers during the week.
Think about how fun it would be to take the course together and to
achieve your certification together - Talk about family bonding!
Learn to Fish in Argentina or Chile - Interested in fishing or the great
outdoors? Try a
Learn to Fish vacation. If
Argentina is too far then look for one closer to where you live. Or live a
little and
take in a new country and learn to fish!
Explore the dinosaurs and take a trip to Drumheller, Alberta, Canada and
visit the Royal Tyrrell
Museum of Palaeontology.You can do a Family Science Camp where you
will camp and prospect for fossils in the badlands of Alberta. You can make
casts of real dinosaur bones and take a behind the scenes tour of the
Museum. Check out the Dinosaur Provincial Park whey you are there. I visited
this museum (and I am not a huge dinosaur fan) in 1995 and I was really
impressed with it.
Or go an an elephant trek or live with the
Masai in Kenya.
This video explains what you would have to do to be a diver at the Great
Barrier Reef in Australia - You can also do these in the Caribbean or any
Dive destination. I did one of these live-aboards as a certified diver - It was
the best way to dive! The pricing is good and it was fun too!

What about making a difference with your kids? What a better way to
teach your kids how to give back by taking a vacation that involves volunteering
your time to help others?
What is your family's favorite charity? Maybe it's helping out at a
homeless shelter? Some work with your church or synagogue? Or maybe you can
take a trip to a developing nation to help build houses or schools.
Habitat for Humanity has the
Global Village program
that where you can take 5 to 21 days trips in the USA and around the world to
help build homes for $100 a day.
Or maybe you would like to help out on an archeological dig in Colorado or
Africa?
Volunteer Match can
help you find an organization to work with.
