July 2023 Daily Holidays & Observances – Printable Calendar
How to Use the Calendar For Your Program
We have listed the daily holidays or observances that fall on each day of the month. Some days have multiple holidays, so you can choose to focus on just one, plan an activity for each one, or combine them if possible. Some weeks have similar observances, or ones that are fun to combine.
You may choose to use the calendar to plan your activities each month and develop themes around each of the days or a combination of days.
There are several ice cream themed holidays in July, which we love! July 1st is Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, July 16th is National Ice Cream Day, and July 23rd is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day!
The 3rd full week in July includes some great summer observances, including National Tug of War Tournament Day, Craft for a Local Shelter Day, and Summer Leisure Day. Make this into an Outdoor Activity Week where you schedule several camp crafts and games to celebrate summer weather outdoors. Find activity ideas on the calendar, plus visit our summer camp page for more resources!
Activity Ideas Suggestions
On pages 2 & 3, you will find an activity suggestion for each holiday and observance under the Activity Ideas section.
We’ve also shared some specific ideas as a guide. For example, Video Games Day is on July 8th. Share with kids how they can stay active while still playing games they love by teaching them how to play Fortnite or Frogger in real life!
