As a campground, your high season is in the warm months of summer. So what keeps you going in the winter? Is it the planning for the next year? Or maybe coming up with fun winter ideas to bring to your campground restaurant or other attraction to keep people coming in on those cold winter months? Whatever it is, we have compiled a list of wintry wonders for you to check out to keep you in the mood!
- Cookie Recipe Sharing: share your favorite holiday cookies with others and let them share theirs!
- Christmas Tree/Ornament Decorating: make it a contest!
- Search for the “Abominable Snowman:” cut two large foot prints out of exterior plywood. Strap on these “feet” and tramp through the snow, backtracking and walking over ice to add to the challenge. End the course near a warm-up hut or cabin and have a hot drink. Those who establish the course may want to erect a huge snowman at the end of the course.
- Owl Prowl: night hike out, sit quietly, and have someone do a good (not cartoon) owl call. On clear nights you can hear them return their calls and they will come to you if you are extremely quiet. It’s a hoot! End the evening with a campfire and lots of hot chocolate.
- Hold your own “Winter Games”- sort of like the Olympics.
