Retired Recess

Jan. 6, 2024

Miss those good old days on the playground? Well, they’re coming back…this time with a twist. Starting Jan. 11, Mt. Holiday in Traverse City will host Retired Recess every Thursday from 12-4pm, a chance for active retired (or almost retired) older kids to gather, ski, socialize, eat, and have fun. (Note: The skiing part is weather dependent, but the rest happens every Thursday snow or shine! Stay up to date on Holiday’s ski conditions at their Facebook page, @mtholiday.) Mt. Holiday will offer discounted lift tickets, rentals, and a tubing run, and the ski hill’s T Bar restaurant will be open for lunch. Retired Recess is put on by a group of local friends hoping to make connections with retired folks who want to have fun with “kids” their own age—just like you used to in elementary school.
