14 Winter Fun Ideas… To Get You Motivated.

(This information has been re-posted from the Camp California E-News)

1. Go Camping (of course we'd say that….but with California's year-round weather you can always find a sunny spot.) When you get there…wrap up in a blanket, sip a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the sunshine.

2. Build a winter bonfire and make s'mores. Even if you don't go camping….you can do this anywhere!

3. Rent some snowshoes and go snowshoeing. Check out California’s Sno-Park pages.

4. Go ice skating. Check out rinktime.com to find one close to you.

5. Take your dog for a walk. It's one of the main benefits of having and owning a dog.

6. Go cross-country skiing.

7. Attend a dog-sled race. You don't have to live in Alaska to see one of these - a quick Google search showed races and tours all around California.

8. Go sledding.

9. Feed the birds or go birdwatching. Make your own birdfeeders out of pine cones, peanut butter, and birdseed. California is one of the largest flyways in the country. Go to CAWatchableWildlife.org to find winter birding sites.

10. Go on a winter picnic. Take blankets, sandwiches and hot soup in a thermos.

11. Head out on a photo expedition to take pictures of the winter landscape.

12. Try a round of golf. In sunny southern California, no problem. Even in the mountains….you can golf with fluorescent balls!

13. If you live near a big city, set off on foot to explore it! You might want to check out some of the group buying daily deals sites like Groupon and LivingSocial to find new things to do in the area.

14. Have kids or dogs? Set up an obstacle course in the yard with jumps, tunnels and other challenges. They'll love you!
