For all Bozeman Schools in District 7 the winter break will begin on Saturday December 22nd and the students will return on Monday January 7th. We are sure your kids have these dates memorized and are looking forward to it but what will they be doing all break?

Ice Skating

Bozeman has an indoor ice skating rink at the Gallatin County Fair Grounds and three outdoor rinks around town. The outdoor rinks are slated to open right around the same time winter break begins. Grab some skates and the kids and hit the ice!

Volunteer

During the holiday season it's always great to give back to your community. There are many opportunities to volunteer here in Bozeman.  You can volunteer at the Bozeman Youth Initiative, Gallatin Valley Food Bank, Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter, become a CAP Mentor, Coordinate a blood drive or simply donate some blood (must be 16 years old or older)

Fun DIY Projects

Buzzfeed put together a great list of easy to do DIY projects that all look like lots of fun and are relatively quick. The list includes shelves, shoe hangers, workout clothing, lamps, chalk board signs and many many more. These are easy enough for the kids to do or work on together.

Sledding

Everyone enjoys a good sledding outing. Be sure to bundle up before you go out and make sure you have all the fixing for hot cocoa when you return!

Skiing and Snowboarding

Take the entire family to the slopes! There are fun events and specials all break at Big Sky, Moonlight Basin and Bridger Bowl.

Kids Camp - December 22 - January 1st at Bridger Bowl. An all-day ski/ride camp for all ability levels. You'll envy your children as they spend the day with one of our pros and kids of similar ability, exploring the best powder stashes on the hill, developing skills and learning new tricks.

Read, Read, Read

Not much beats snuggling under a warm blanket with a good book during a Bozeman winter. Whether you read with the kids or your kids read by themselves. Give them the encouragement and push they need to dive into a good book. Have your kids read The Hobbit yet? My favorite book as a kid was Ender's Game. The Bozeman Public Library is a great venue to spend the day reading books, magazines, and newspapers!

Movie Nights

Just as enjoyable as snuggling and reading is watching a good movie. It won't be forever that your kids will enjoy sitting on the couch and watching the latest action adventures with you so take advantage of it!
