Summer is a great time to get outside, try something new, or enjoy the fresh air. The days are longer, the weather’s warmer, and it’s the perfect season to stay active and connected. And when you have a Companion by your side, everyday moments can turn into something a little more meaningful.
At Villi, we know that staying engaged doesn’t mean doing anything complicated; it just means doing what feels good with someone who’s there for you.
Why Summer’s a Great Time to Connect
It’s easier to feel more energized in the summer. There’s something about a sunny day that makes a walk around the block or sitting on the porch feel extra nice. These small moments can help lift your mood, and when you share them with someone else, they matter even more.
That’s where Companions come in. Whether it’s helping with the day-to-day or just keeping you company, they make it easier to enjoy the season.
Easy Summer Activities to Try with a Companion
Here are a few low-key, feel-good things you can do this summer with a Companion, with no big planning required:
Take a Walk
Start the day with a walk around the neighborhood or a local park. A Companion can join you for the stroll.
Grow Something Small
Herbs on the windowsill. A couple of flower pots on the porch. You don’t need a garden to enjoy planting. Companions can help pick out what to grow, water it, and keep it tidy.
Check Out a Farmer’s Market
Fresh fruit, flowers, and maybe even some music – farmers markets are a fun way to get out of the house. A Companion can help with transportation, shopping, or just walking around together.
Have a Picnic (Indoors or Out)
Too hot outside? No problem. Put together a simple lunch and enjoy it near a window or under a shady tree. A Companion can help prep the food and set it all up.
Go to a Local Event
From outdoor concerts to community fairs, summer is full of local things to do. A Companion can come along for support and help you navigate crowds or transportation.
Make a Scrapbook
Looking through old photos and putting together a scrapbook is a great way to relax and reflect. One of our favorite stories is from Companion Laquita and her client Helen, who worked on a recipe photo book together – you can see their story here.
Do a Creative Project
Try something simple like painting, baking, or writing. A Companion can help get things started or just hang out while you create.
Companions Make It Easier to Enjoy the Season
Sometimes, just having someone there makes all the difference. Companions aren’t just there to check things off a list – they’re there to listen, share a laugh, and help you do the things you enjoy, even if they’re small.
They can also help with planning, transportation, or just being present, so you don’t have to do it all on your own.
Make Summer Work for You
You don’t have to do everything, and you don’t have to do it alone. A good summer day might mean watering your plants, listening to music, or taking a short walk. It’s about doing what feels right for you.
