Spring Break Ideas

If you had to summarize the Spring Break experience, most people would probably say something along the lines of sun, sand and beaches. Or all night parties, a never ending stream of alcohol and romantic flings.

But there is so much more to do on Spring Break, and so many destinations that don’t necessarily involve beaches.

This year consider some of these fresh Spring Break ideas:

There’s More To The Great Outdoors Than The Beach

There’s no doubt that beaches offer plenty of “fun in the sun” but they aren’t the only destination you should consider this Spring Break. For example, there are camping destinations all over the world, and tons of them right here in the US. Rather than following everyone else to overcrowded hotspots for Spring Break, pack up the car with your friends or family and head to the great outdoors.

You could camp out in tents, or you could rent a mini-camper or RV, even a luxury log cabin in the woods complete with internet access, big screen TVs, Jacuzzis and more – basically everything you need for your own private party!

If you’re stumped for destinations, the Grand Canyon is the perfect place for your Spring Break camping trip.

Vegas, Baby, Vegas!

While everyone else is spending their Spring Break on crowded beaches in Florida or Mexico, take your party straight to Vegas! Spring is much more comfortable in Vegas than the summer time when temperatures can easily climb to 110 degrees.

Better still, there are tons of activities in Vegas for you and your friends or family. Of course you have all of the casinos and stage shows, but there is also a very active night life as well as plenty of other things to do like dune buggy adventures and indoor skydiving.

Out Of The Ordinary Can Be Extraordinary

Many Spring Breakers simply follow the crowds to the beach. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that and there is undoubtedly plenty of fun to be had there, but plenty of rewards await those who decide to get off the beaten path.

Just use your imagination and you will find that there are plenty of other destinations worthy of your time. Take scuba diving for example. Many of the same beach resorts that are popular with Spring Breakers offer scuba packages that are cheap and yet tons of fun. Many even help you to complete your certification in just 3 days. What could be more fun than spending your Spring Break in crystal clear water surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery on Earth?

Another idea for the adrenaline junkies out there is air combat. Say what? That’s right, air combat! Pack up your buddies this Spring Break and head out to one of several locations that offer to let you fly, yes fly, real WWII airplanes or F15 fighter jets. You’ll first go through a 2 or 3 hour training session and then get the chance to take the controls and fly one of these bad boys. It’s sure to be a Spring Break trip you’ll never forget!
