A wonderful way to spend your summer vacation is doing an internship. Internships can give you an extra boost on your resume when applying for jobs post graduation; it will give you the experience that companies are looking for after graduation. Make it fun and look for internship in another province! Check out the following link for internships across Canada.

2) With Family and Friends
Students who attend Loyalist from another city, province or country should spend summer vacation in their hometown with their family and friends. When you’re in college you rarely have time to go home and visit these people.
3) Catching up on Movies
With the stress of school and money what college student has time to watch movies during the fall and spring semesters? This summer spend your summer vacation catching up on all the movies that did so well in the theatres. Make it a fun friend night, have a potluck and a movie marathon.
4) Camping
Spending all your time inside for classes and working on projects is normal for college students. With all the free time you’ll have on your hands it’s a great idea to spend as much time as possible outside in our gorgeous Canadian summer weather. Organize a group of friends or family members for a camping trip! Check out the links below for Canadian camp grounds as well as camping tips.

5) On the Beach
The beach is a wonderful place for college students to spend their summer vacation. If you are really interested in spending your whole summer there, line up a job so that you can afford an apartment for three months. Check out MacLean’s top 10 Canadian Beaches:
1. Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario
2. Long Beach, British Columbia
3. Parksville and Qualicum, British Columbia
4. Sauble Beach, Ontario
5. Good Spirit Lake, Saskatchewan
6. Basin Head, P.E.I
7. Kouchibouguac National Park, New Brunswick
8. Grand Beach Provincial Park, Manitoba
9. Sylvan Lake, Alberta
10. Boyce Gyro Park, British Columbia
6) Working
Obviously this isn’t the most enjoyable way for students to spend their summer vacation, but working during the summer and saving your wages will allow you to concentrate on school during the fall, rather than working. Or could allow for a very exciting trip south during reading week!
7) Volunteer
There is nothing more rewarding than making a difference with your time. Not only will it give you self fulfillment, but employers also look for volunteer work when reviewing resumes which set you aside from your fellow candidates. Check out Volunteer and Information Quinte, or your hometown website for opportunities.

8) Taking Fun Classes
College students don’t have an option of what classes they would like to take; because of this the idea of “Fun learning” is lost. Take a look at your hometowns website for listings of classes and workshops available which may include: scrapbooking, dance classes, creative writing workshops, video editing, landscaping/garden workshops and volunteer opportunities.
9) Losing the Freshman 15
Your first year of college can be stressful and hectic, spending your time getting used to a new environment and trying to do the best you can. Because of this you rarely have time to eat and when you do eat, the food is far from healthy. And you can forget about having time to exercise. All this combines for what many call “the freshman 15”. This summer spend your time getting rid of those extra pounds and enjoying the outdoor life.
10) Being Lazy
College is hard work! You have to work hard to get good grades, get your assignments done on time and still have a life outside of college. All of this stress really takes a toll on your body; that is why the most perfect way for college students to spend their summer vacation is being lazy.
