For those "outdoors-type" families, summer is the best time of year. It means you can take the family hiking canooning, or even just to a camp ground for a night or two.
There are plenty of campgrounds in the area. Canoe River is in Mansfield, Normandy Farms is in Foxborough, KOA is in Middleborough and Appalacian Mountain Club is in Canton.
For a more genuine experience, some families might pack up and take a trip up to New Hampshire or Maine where "hiking" doesn't mean a walk through the woods, but up a mountain.
