The Art of Summering

At FRESCOBOL CARIOCA, we want to encourage as many people as possible to practice The Art of Summering. Inspired by Rio de Janeiro, we believe summer is more than a season - summering is a mindset. A balance of sea & city, leisure & spontaneity, unhurried experiences - a serene game of frescobol with no mandated beginning or end. It’s not a place or a plan, but a way of being - lived and quietly passed on.

What Is Summering?

(Verb) To Summer

To spend extended time periods focused predominantly (although not exclusively) on leisure. Summering may be practiced alone, with family, or with friends (old and new). It is without a mandated beginning or end. It is the sense of long and free days, of time sprawling out in front of you. Tranquil, calm and meditative states of mind are encouraged while Summering. A relaxing game of frescobol can be a good start to an afternoon of serenity. Summering is location agnostic (although warm weather is preferential).

What Is The Art Of Summering?

Summering is an art, and should be treated as such. The Art of Summering is attaining the fine balance between leisure and pro-activity. It is being selective about your plans while allowing for exciting new opportunities and experiences. It is more than a lifestyle choice, it is a mindset. Art is an important part of summering. Art and culture can add a whole new dimension to your experience. You may also find art in the beauty of your surroundings, be it in architecture or nature. While summering you may find yourself transitioning between a multitude of environments; from the sea to the city, the resort to the beach house, the beach to an impromptu call - perhaps all in one day
