Summer is well under way in Missouri and before we know it, the kids will be headed back to school. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on any of the fun that our area has to offer, so we’ve come up with a back to school bucket list to help you make the most of the last month of summer break! 

Choose a few or challenge your family to complete all 24. We have a printable checklist down below to help you keep track. 

When you do these activities, be sure to share your photos with us by tagging us (@flyflw) and using the hashtags #flyflw and #backtoschoolbucketlist. We can’t wait to see all of your adventures!
