ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK
Many universities in the United States have one free week with no classes in March or April called
“Spring Break.” It’s a time for students to relax and most students travel to the beach and have parties!
Other students choose to use this week to do community service.
Read about these options for “Alternative Spring Break”

volunteers to help clean kennels, give dogs baths, and take dogs for walks. We’re

volunteers to help with adoption paperwork. The fairs begin at 8:00AM and end at
6:00PM. We need volunteers to help in the morning and the evening.
The Summerhill Assisted Living Center needs volunteers! Volunteers spend time with
our residents and accompany them during their weekly activities. This can
include using the computer, playing games, watching TV, taking a walk in the garden,
or attending an exercise class. The stretching class is at 10:00AM on April 8th, and
the swimming class is on April 10th at 3:00PM. Also, we’re having a party on April

Hello. We are Bob and Jan Rosenstock. We want to take a trip around Europe to celebrate our 50th
wedding anniversary! We are looking for a good tour company that specializes in custom trips for
seniors. Do you recommend Silver Years Tours?
TRACY RUNDMAN
An e xc e l l e n t m i x o f a dv e n t u r e a n d r e l a x at i o n !
I loved my tour with Silver Years Tours. I traveled with them to South Africa in 2018. They created the perfect
balance of activities for adventure and relaxation. First, they picked us up from the airport and gave us a snack
and some water. Then, they took us to our hotel in a private bus. The next day, we had a city tour. The guide
was very prepared and spoke five languages! That night we had a very exotic dinner. We ate ostrich burgers!
The next day we went hiking and then got massages in the afternoon. The following day we went on a safari
and saw many beautiful animals. The elephants were my favorite. As a 67 year old woman, I felt very
comfortable with Silver Years Tours. They made sure the trip was fun and safe!
ELIZA PEREZ
G r e at t r i p , b u t too e x p e n s i v e !
I planned a trip to the Caribbean with Silver Years Tours in 2017 to celebrate my retirement. I didn’t want
anything too crazy, so I selected a cruise for seniors. It was really beautiful. We visited many different islands
and did a variety of activities. We went sightseeing, snorkeling, and shopping. On the boat there were other
activities, like dancing, swimming, and a movie theater. This was all good. I didn’t like my room on the cruise
ship, and the food was terrible. I paid a lot of money and expected nicer accommodations. Also, it was difficult to
communicate with Silver Years Tours. They plan good trips, but you pay a lot of money for it.
