Parenting Meetups: Ideas for your next Meetup
As summer warms up, Parenting Meetups are taking the fun outdoors!
Katie, the Organizer of The Babies and Mommies of Doylestown Meetup Group, shared some of her group’s awesome outdoor Meetup ideas:
- Host a backyard picnic playdate – with a sprinkler break
- Go on a nature walk
- Take a trip to the beach
- Visit a local pool for a themed swimming playdate
- Schedule a backyard scavenger hunt
- Celebrate summer holidays with a BBQ
- Host an all-group summer picnic
We also reached out to Kristin, the Organizer of the North Jersey Moms Meetup Group, for some savvy tips for hosting outdoor Meetups.
Specifically for outdoor meetups…
- somebody should know the venue well or at least have checked out when it’s the busiest: if it’s enclosed for the younger set, any safety concerns, shaded areas, parking, etc.
- The Organizer or host should anticipate any supplies one may need or would be nice to have along just in case: picnic blanket, some extra water or juice boxes/snacks to offer, sunscreen/bug spray, even hats, wipes, etc.
- Also if possible and if the host feels comfortable doing so, give out a cell number if somebody has trouble finding group. The host should also state where to meet group and how to best find him/her (clothing, color of bag, a sign…)
Let the sunny times roll!
Katie rocks as part of Meetup’s Community team. She’s especially keen on Parenting Meetups.
