As July winds down and we inch closer to fall, there’s still time to make the most of summer! Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or looking to soak up local fun before school and work routines take over, now is the moment to check a few more things off your summer bucket list.
At BeTickWise, we believe outdoor fun and smart protection go hand-in-hand. So while you’re squeezing the last juice out of summer 2025, we’re here to help you do it safely and confidently.
Here are 10 unforgettable ways to close out the summer—plus essential tick safety reminders to keep your skin and spirit bite-free.
1. Host a Backyard Movie Night
Project a movie onto a white sheet, lay out blankets and chairs, and enjoy a cozy outdoor screening with snacks and friends. Just remember: long grass = tick habitat. Treat the lawn ahead of time and keep bug protection close by.
2. Take a Sunset Hike
Cooler evenings make this a perfect time to enjoy nature. Stick to the center of trails, avoid brushing against tall grass, and always check for ticks post-hike.
3. Go River Tubing or Kayaking
Beat the heat with a peaceful float down a local river. While you’ll be mostly in the water, be alert during loading/unloading zones near wooded areas.
4. Plan a Camping Trip Close to Home
Can’t make it to a national park? Set up a tent in your own yard or visit a nearby state park. Nature is everywhere—and so are ticks, so stay prepared with TickWise spray.
5. Explore a New Farmer’s Market
Late summer brings peak harvest for juicy peaches, corn, tomatoes, and more. Walk the market aisles in comfy clothes and give yourself a tick-safe spritz before and after the visit.
6. Visit a Local Lavender or Sunflower Farm
Capture beautiful photos and breathe in summer’s floral glory. These farms are picturesque—but they’re also grassy, so don’t forget protection from hidden bugs.
7. Attend an Outdoor Concert or Festival
Many towns wrap up the summer with outdoor music, art, and food events. Pack TickWise in your bag so you can enjoy the vibes without bug bites.
8. Stargaze in an Open Field
Grab a telescope or simply lie on a blanket for some late-summer stargazing. A magical night under the stars becomes less magical if you’re fidgeting with itchy bites—spray up!
9. Go Berry or Peach Picking
Fruit picking is a fun family activity—but ticks love the shady tree lines around orchards and farms. Arm yourself (and your kids) with TickWise before you head out.
10. Host an Outdoor Game Night
From cornhole and capture the flag to kickball and frisbee—summer is the season of play. Keep a bottle of TickWise by the drink station to make sure everyone stays safe while having fun.
☀️ Final Thoughts:
Late July through August is a sweet spot for memory-making. But it’s also prime time for ticks to latch on during grassy, wooded, or even suburban activities. That’s why TickWise is the natural companion for all your outdoor fun.
