Winter is a time for friendship!

The winter months are filled with extra homework, college applications, working overtime, holiday shopping , gift returning, family time, traveling, catching up on sleep and lots of eating; many people get lost in daily tasks and they forget to spend time with people they care about, even their Buddy.

Below is a list of activities that are inexpensive and enjoyable for both student and adult Buddy Pairs:

  • Ice Skating
  • Build a Fort/Snowman
  • Bake Cookies, Pies, or Breads
  • Decorate Ginger Bread Houses
  • Create a Personal Cookbook
  • Make Homemade Pizza
  • Roast Marshmallows for Smores
  • Go Sledding/Tubing/Skiing
