summer is a season

0:29

there are four seasons

0:32

summer

0:33

winter

0:34

spring

0:35

and fall

0:37

in the u.s which is in the northern

0:40

hemisphere

0:42

the summer season is in the months

0:44

june

0:45

july

0:46

and august

0:49

summer is the warmest

0:52

sunniest season

0:53

and is many people's favorite time of

0:57

year

0:59

in the u.s

1:00

students and teachers have

1:02

summer vacation

1:04

which means there is no school during

1:07

the summer

1:08

many kids go to summer camp or travel

1:12

with their families during their summer

1:14

vacation

1:16

summer camp is a classic american

1:19

tradition

1:20

and is when children get together to do

1:23

sports or other activities while school

1:26

is closed

1:28

students can either go to

1:30

day camp

1:31

meaning it is only during the day

1:34

or

1:35

sleep away camp

1:38

sleep away camp is what we call a camp

1:41

program that is full time

1:44

so the campers which is what we call the

1:46

children that are attending or going to

1:49

camp

1:50

are there during the day for activities

1:54

and they sleep there overnight as well

1:58

most americans go to sleep away camp at

2:01

least once in their life

2:03

and some go to the same camp every

2:06

summer for their whole childhood

2:09

i went to a few different arts-based

2:12

camps as a child

2:13

my cousins

2:15

all went to the same camp in texas

2:17

every summer

2:19

and even became camp counselors in high

2:21

school

2:23

a camp counselor is someone who is older

2:26

maybe

2:28

16 to 19 years old

2:31

who helps plan and do camp activities

2:34

the camp counselors also keep younger

2:37

kids safe during summer camp

2:41

another thing many people do in the

2:43

summer

2:44

is travel

2:46

when people travel in the summer

2:49

they usually like to go to warm places

2:52

like the beach

2:54

when you go to the beach you have to

2:56

remember to pack your bathing suit so

2:59

you can swim in the pools and in the

3:02

ocean

3:03

you need

3:04

sunglasses

3:06

to protect your eyes from the bright sun

3:10

and a beach towel

3:12

so you're not sitting on the sand

3:15

most importantly

3:17

you can't forget

3:19

your sunscreen

3:22

sunscreen protects your skin from the

3:24

sun

3:26

what do you like to do at the beach

3:29

do you go

3:31

swimming

3:32

in the ocean

3:35

or do you prefer to sunbathe or lay in

3:38

the sun and get a tan

3:42

a tan is when your skin gets darker from

3:45

being in the sun

3:48

you may enjoy playing beach sports such

3:51

as

3:52

volleyball

3:53

or maybe you enjoy going surfing

3:58

a lot of people like me

4:01

like to relax

4:02

and read a book or listen to music

4:06

ugh the beach is a wonderful place to

4:09

spend the summer

4:11

there's something to do for everyone you

4:14

can be active and sporty

4:16

or you can relax and be lazy

4:21

summertime isn't just about traveling

4:24

away from home for vacation or camp

4:27

though there are tons of fun things to

4:30

do at home during the summer

4:32

such as

4:33

spending time with friends outside

4:37

you can spend time with friends at a

4:39

barbecue

4:40

or a picnic

4:43

maybe you like to play sports like

4:46

soccer

4:47

or frisbee in the park

4:51

a park

4:52

is an outside space that is open to

4:55

everyone

4:56

and

4:57

usually has a large area with grass

5:02

what do you like to do during the summer

5:05

do you enjoy traveling

5:08

or maybe you like to meet your friends

5:10

in the park to play soccer
