In the summer, everyone wants to get out of the house, have some fun and enjoy the outdoors. For many people, that means heading to their local park or going on road trips to scenic locations. If you are also looking for a new hobby and summer activities that don’t involve sitting inside or staying glued to your TV all day, you’ll love these outdoor hobbies for adults.
Paragliding
If you’ve seen photos of people flying above the mountains or the ocean on a large parachute, you’ve probably wondered what it’s like to do it. Paragliding is a sport where you jump off a hill or mountainside using a large parachute-like wing. You can steer in any direction and glide through the sky with the wind. You’ll want a partner to paraglide, as the experience is a two-person activity. For tips, check out this guide from Jerome Clavel for more information to get started with paragliding.
Cliff Jumping
Cliff jumping, also known as free diving, is a sport where you jump off a cliff or high-rise into the water below.

Cliff jumping is not a sport for everyone, but if you are an extreme person who loves a rush, then you might find this new hobby very appealing.
Ultimate Frisbee

A great place to take photos that’s close to most major cities is a city park. You can take photos of flowers, wildlife, or even just the architecture of the buildings around you. You can also challenge yourself to take pictures at night to improve your skills further.
