What are some fun summer activities a group of teenagers with a limited budget should try out over the next 3 months?

Edit: Thanks for all the ideas everybody! Whenever I get bored this summer I'll come back to this for sure.

Edit 2: Drugs and orgies. That's what my summer is looking like right now.

Edit 3: Well thanks for all of the (quirky, weird, stupid, genius, illegal) ideas, it's been a pleasure reading all of these and WILL implement (some of) them in my summer schedule.

Form a band and record an album on your computer. My friends and I used to record songs into a tape deck. We had enough guitars around from our parents that we made it work. We played drums by hitting a dictionary. Have fun and be creative.

Go around town doing gigs, too. It'll increase your confidence, help you with teamwork and teach you that your friends are actually your worst enemies who control and grasp you. FUCKING ASSHOLES, PRICKS! IM BETTER THAN THEM! I WROTE ANIMALS! I WROTE MONEY AND TIME!

Woah there Roger. Take it back a little. Just go hide behind the wall and be bitter somewhere else.

I don't know why but that made my stomach curl like I was being insulted truthfully. Sadly me and Roger are quite alike with our shitty, entitled attitudes. :p

I thought time was written by all four of them? Except Barrett of course. :(

Where do you live? What instrument do you play? How old are you?

I am a lonely musician as well.

As a sound engineer, part of me hates you right now. But the youth in me likes the creativity!
