A week in a cottage house, water sports, campfires… when we are alone, certain outings can seem more difficult to do. Need ideas? Here are a few suggestions to occupy your summer!
Of course, when we are single, we can often find a single friend to take on a trip. Friendships are precious when we are not married! But when our friends’ vacations don’t coincide with ours, we need a plan B. With a little thought, we can plan a summer full of activities that are both enjoyable and useful.
Activities for Christian singles
Passion374 is in several regions of Quebec. You will find activities all summer long in the region of Quebec, in Center-of-Quebec and Mauricie, in the Greater Montreal region, and in Outaouais region. Take advantage of your vacation weeks to participate in one of these activities! And if this activity is not in your area, take the opportunity to visit the area! By talking to singles in the area, they will certainly give you good local addresses. Travel while meeting other Christian singles, it’s really cool! Even if most of the ads are in French, don’t worry, the organizers all speak English, and a lot of participants do too!
A missionary trip?
Several organizations offer Christian singles community engagement trips. International destinations require several months of preparation, but why go far when we can help our national churches? For example, if you live in an urban area, contact a rural church and offer your services to them for a few days. Whether helping with renovations or doing local evangelism, many churches appreciate an extra pair of hands for occasional work. Choose a destination and then contact local churches. A good way to combine business with pleasure!
Remain a child at heart
Why not offer to help a single mother (or father)? Offer to pick up their children for a day and go with them to a family destination: water park, amusement park, zoo… These parents will have a day off, and their children will return in the evening exhausted and satisfied. Ensuring also a peaceful night for parents! Your nieces and nephews should also be considered! Even grumpy teenagers will be happy to go to the water slides!
A one-day course
To take your mind off things, why not learn something new? Several cooking schools offer one-day training courses to master a particular technique. In marinas, it is also often possible to find courses for sailing all kinds of boats. An art school? A dance school? You can even ask to do free internships in different companies like dog grooming, nurseries, and different farms! The possibilities for learning are endless!
So don’t stay at home this summer! Plan an exciting vacation today! By the way, if you are invited to ANOTHER wedding this summer and it is starting to create melancholy in your soul, read this other article: valuable tips for enjoying these moments of joy.
