How Companions Can Support Outings or Join in the Fun

Companions can play a role in enhancing these experiences:

  • Transportation Assistance: Helping with travel arrangements to and from events.
  • Engagement: Participating in activities, encouraging interaction, and helping you feel comfortable throughout the outing.

 

Tips for Staying Cool and Safe During Summer Excursions

  • Hydration: Carry water bottles to keep up water intake.
  • Sun Protection: Use sunscreen, wear hats, and seek shade when necessary.
  • Comfortable Attire: Dress in light, breathable clothing and comfortable footwear.
  • Rest Breaks: Plan for regular breaks to sit and relax, especially during longer events.

 

Experience the summer in Maryland with these activities. Whether it’s a nature walk, a festival, or a cultural exhibition, there’s plenty of opportunity to create fun memories. With the support of a Companion, these experiences become even more accessible and enjoyable.
