Even if you're not big on sleeping on the ground, you have to admit there's something special about cooking over a campfire. For a low-key dinner, only serve food that can be cooked around a firepit, and let guests make their own. Sometimes, there's nothing better than hot dogs and s'mores. If you feel like getting fancy, take things up a notch with foil packet nachos or roasted banana boats.
Camping-Themed Cookout
Ask your friends to don their best garden party attire for an afternoon packed with lawn games. Set out a variety of games — everything from croquet to badminton to bocce ball — then rotate through each section tournament-style. The winner gets to brag about their skills all afternoon long!
Lawn Game Tournament
Channel nostalgia for the summers of your childhood with a tournament of all the games you'd play at a carnival. Race to blow the fastest bubble with old-fashioned bubble gum or guess the number of candy pieces in a jar. You can even set up carnival games, like a balloon wall target for darts or a ring toss.
Carnival Game Contest
After months and months stuck indoors, summer is calling. Beach days, camping trips, and all the other social occasions we've been dreaming of for so long are finally on the horizon — along with a fair amount of pressure to make this summer especially epic.
Kick off the season with something we've all become big fans of over the past year and a half: the backyard hang. Any of these four outdoor hosting ideas would be a perfect way to ease back into in-person socializing — and set the tone for a summer jam-packed with fun.
We partnered with AHA Sparkling Water™ to help you celebrate all those little AHA moments throughout your day.

Camping-Themed Cookout
Get the drive-in movie experience without leaving your backy rd by setting up an outdoor projector. If you're lucky enough to have a pool, fill it with floaties for a dive-in movie; or, if you'd rather stay dry, lay blankets and pillows all over the l wn for cushy seating. Bowls full of buttery popcorn complete the experience.
