Teen Approved Adventures

We've all had that experience of trying to plan something fun to do with our families, just to be met with eye rolls and teenage tantrums. And, we've all struggled to find adventures that everyone in the family will enjoy - activities that match the interests of our kids and also our own as adults. (And sometimes, that can be just downright impossible.)

​

Our family philosophy is "you don't have to love everything we do, but you have to participate and be open to learning something new."  Generally, my rule of thumb is they have to tell me three things they learned from the adventure (yes, even at the national parks, we are constantly learning!)

​

What follows below are some of our favorite experiences that we have done with our kids in their tween and teen years. Some of these were experiences that one or both of the kids weren't interested in at first, but they they ended up enjoyed them.

This is just a general list of experiences that I hope will inspire you to find new adventures for your family. Remember, all of these are tried and tested by my teens - and all got the thumbs up for epic family adventures!

I feature these adventures both in the "Inheriting Wanderlust" blog and on @inheritingwanderlust1 Instagram page, so follow along to get all the juicy details!
