muskoka chairs at beach

Most people wait for a summer holiday to change their life, routine, and escape from work pressure throughout the year. For next summer, my family and I discussed spending our vacation in a quiet place away from the crowded city. We have chosen the Muskokas to be our destination. They are located one and half hours north of Toronto. If we go there, we will rent a lakefront cottage. It would be amazing to sit front of the lake and enjoy the sunsets. Also, my children would be able to swim and build sand castles which is their favorite hobby. My friend has been there before. She recommended taking a boat cruise. While she was describing the trip on Muskoka waterways, I imagined how incredible this trip would be.

After our Muskoka trip, I plan on volunteering in any summer camp. I did some online search and found Arabic schools require volunteers to teach kids Arabic. I would like to be there because of the advantages from this activity. First, I would have a new experience. Furthermore, my kids would be able to meet new friends and learn more about our language and culture. I expect a nice, useful summer, full of happy moments.
