Summer is a time to revel in the sunshine and outdoors with your family. If you’re looking for something special to do with the little ones, a Daycation at Smugglers’ Notch will not disappoint. Smuggs’ family-friendly winter status transitions seamlessly into summer. From water slides to hikes, rock climbing to ice cream, and all the little touches in between, Smuggs provides activities for kids big and small.

With my oldest just “graduating” from preschool this year, I wanted to kick off summer with a special trip with a few of his (and my) friends. And so, my mom friends and I planned a “school is out” summer escape with our three oldest kids, ages 5, 6, and 8.  We decided to hit up Smuggs for a mountain playdate. We started with a short hike in the morning followed by an exploration of everything Smuggs has to offer in early June. Read more about our hike and get hiking tips here: “Take a Hike at Smuggs”
