With July nearly behind us, it's time to imagine the previously unthinkable: summer's end. But before we measure out our lives in pumpkin spice, there is plenty of fun to be had August — and don't count out September. Yes, it's a school month, but it is also a very warm month in most of the U.S. From mixing summer cocktails to to hiking with alpacas, we've rounded up 15 ways to make the most of the outdoors while the leaves are still green.

1. Sleep in a Treehouse
If sleeping among the trees when camping is not quite enough, try sleeping in them with an overnight in a treehouse. There are plenty of grown-up versions (and a few traditional ones for purists) on Airbnb, like this one in Index, Washington.

2. Catch the Supermoon
The last supermoon of 2022 is August 11. These occur when the full moon is at its closest point to Earth, making luna appear larger than usual.

3. Add This Melusine Bath Bomb ($9) to a Kiddie Pool
Whether it's to trick kids into thinking their pool is cooler than the real deal or just to create a spot to dip your feet into while doing your summer reading, adding colors (or even bubbles) to a kiddie pool is a little luxury that deserves respect. The salty one above from Lush will turn the pool into two feet of saltwater to make you think you've been at the beach.

4. Try Randonauting
What is randonauting, you ask? Think of it as a way to test out low-stakes manifesting in real time, kind of like The Secret for walking. Here's how it works: Download the Randonautica app, visualize a place you'd like to go (really let your imagination get into it), let the app generate random coordinates within a set radius, and then go see if it's everything you imagined it'd be.
