Gather Friends, Relax and Have Fun This Spring Break

Spring Break is for getting some R&R and spending time with friends and family. Plus, the local weather is predicted to give our first taste of spring! Grab your friends, head outside and enjoy some time in the sun!

 

1. Outdoor Painting

Canvas or paper, acrylic or water color. Find an inspiring tree, a beautiful lake or even just a small flower in your backyard and let the inspiration guide your paintbrush! Each of you can pick your own focus or pick the same one and compare your interpretations.

 

2. Nature Walk & Picnic

Find your local state park and pack a lunch! After these cold, gloomy months, just getting outside and feeling the sun on your face can be the most relaxing sensation. Make an afternoon of it by walking a trail and stopping for a picnic.

 

3. Mini Golf

A little friendly competition never hurt anyone! Gather a few friends and play a round or two of mini golf. Plus, some courses offer a free sweet treat to the winner!

 

4. Geocaching

Use a GPS to locate small treasures and items left by previous geocachers! Bring a small gift of your own to leave in it’s place to keep the fun going! Great for a solo activity or with a group!

 

5. Gardening

Get your hands dirty! Start a garden now to enjoy beautiful blooming flowers in a few weeks. Flowers do require some regular maintenance, but the results are worth it. Plus, you won’t have to worry about buying Mother’s Day flowers!

 

6. Biking

This activity is as easy as.. well.. riding a bike! Cycle around your neighborhood, on biking trails or to a destination of your choice. Feel the wind in your helmet and be free!

 

7. Stargazing

Identify constellations, swap stories and myths and just enjoy the beauty of the night sky. The stars look different depending upon the time of year and your location. Add to the experience with a bonfire, s’mores and some friends!
