Five Fun Activities to Get Your Family Outdoors this Spring

After a long winter and an even longer wait for warmer weather, Saskatchewan is finally starting to get some of that sweet sunshine that I love so much and that means it’s time to head outside!

I love being able to get outdoors again, but after a long winter indoors, I do sometimes flounder when trying to plan outdoor activities again!

If you’re also looking for fun ways to get back outside now that your weather is warming up, here are some great ideas for kids and adults alike!

  • Visit your local playground: Climb the jungle gym and dig in the sand box for treasures.
  • Join a league: Want to get really active and work on your camaraderie? You and your kids can join sports leagues, encouraging everyone to get out, be active and have some laughs with friends along the way.
  • Go camping: You might not always be able to steal away to go camping in the woods, but you can always put up a tent a little closer to home in your own backyard or local park.
  • Get gardening: It’s spring, and you know what that means – it’s time to seed the lawn and plant your flower beds because it’s gardening season!
  • Escape to the cottage: If you live in a city, the idea of escaping as it warms up is extremely appealing. To some this may mean opening up the cottage, which involves cleaning up (both inside and out) and outdoor adventures, including hiking, canoeing and swimming.

No matter what activities are going to be filling your month, finding fun things to do outdoors is so much easier once the weather warms up!

Personally, getting the bikes out and going for a long bike ride with my boys is one of my favourite ways of welcoming warmer weather, but that first ride sure does make for still legs the next day! What activities are you going to be enjoying this month?

  1. great article – we love camping but have yet to take our 2 little ones, will be soon cant wait! they will love it!

  2. my favorite idea listed is to escape to a cottage! that would be an awesome getaway from the hectic neighborhood i live in.

  3. RubA535 makes great products! I grew up with that smell since my mom always used A535 for muscle pain!

    I like that the RUB A535 Arnica is also good for bumps and bruises. Those seem to make the rounds in spring/summer. What I really wish is that they had one for the bike seat bum area – for the second ride of the season! Same thing every year until after about ride #4.

  5. At times it is hard to keep up with the grandkids. A535 gives me relief from the aches and pains of growing old
