2010 Spring Break: Alternative Spring Break Ideas

Last week we provided you party animals information on 2010 Spring Break: Destinations & Celebrity Appearances. If you are more laid back, and don't find pleasure in cramming into a dirty hotel room, this spring break edition is just for you! It's been a long semester and if the thought of watered down drinks and buffet style eating sends you into mental breakdown status, we have some great spring break alternatives just for you. Find out how you can earn a free ticket to Disney, or head to Guatemala and immerse yourself in their culture.

Maybe the idea of piling into a car and taking a 20 hour road trip to some tropical spring break destination isn't your cup of tea. When you factor in the cost of your hotel room during high season, food and drink, you could spend a small fortune on the popular spring break locations. If you are looking to do something fun and less wild on your week off, but don't want to break the bank, check out some fun alternative spring break ideas.

Give a Day, Get A Day: We have seen the cute Disney commercials with Private Practice (TV) star Taye Diggs, Greys Anatomy (TV) starlet Sara Ramirez, the world famous and beloved Muppets. It is a great motivator; volunteer for a day and in return receive one theme park ticket to Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort. Spending your spring break helping others and in return chilling with Sleeping Beauty or Aladdin sounds like a fun break!
Culture Immersion: Ditch Panama City for the Panama Canal in one of the many culture impression programs. An emerging trend over the past few years has been pioneered by free thinking students who wish to thirst for knowledge and new experiences. These immersion programs bring college students to different countries to appreciate their culture and to help volunteer where possible.
Go Home: Yes, we said it! It might not be glamorous, but use your week off to spend with family, friends, and loved ones back in your hometown. Plan little fun day trips, explore news parks; bottom line be adventurous and try new things no matter where you are!

Regardless of where your spring break takes you, make sure you stay safe and when you return, come back and fill us in our your adventures. Safe travels to all!
