July is typically a busy month for travel; but with everything going on today, many people are opting for a staycation. Here are our top 10 staycation ideas to keep everyone busy. 

#1 Go Camping

Pitch a team and camp in your own backyard. Get out the camping gear or borrow a tent if you don't have one, makes s'mores, hot dogs and other fun summertime favorites (use the microwave if your area prohibits campfires), and don't forget the spooky stories with a flashlight.

#2 Create a Film Festival

Have your own at home Film Festival. Try screening a series like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or pick a theme and choose films to fit.

#3 Visit a Local Park

Lace up  your hiking boots, or pack a picnic basket and visit a local park. Even bring your 4-legged friends if park rules allow them. (see below for our BONUS Content.)

#4 Cheer on Your Team

With Most sports in talk of returning to playing soon. Look up upcoming times for your favorite team's upcoming games.

#5 Read a Good Book

Settle in and read a good book. There's no easier way to visit a new place without ever leaving the comfort of your home. 

#6 DIY
