Traditionally, many Marines go home for the holidays. However, Semper Fit & Recreation has always recognized the importance of having well-coordinated installation activities for those who do not go home for the holidays. Semper Fit & Recreation strives to ease the feeling of isolation and build a stronger sense of community.
New COVID-19 travel restrictions are being announced daily, and many Marines will not make it home for the holidays. Let Semper Fit & Recreation brighten your holiday this year with exciting activities near you. For a snapshot of activities taking place at each installation, check out the December calendar below.
In December, installations will conduct activities such as holiday spin-offs, outdoor movie nights, pool tournaments, fun runs, tree lightings, holiday barracks dinners, and scavenger hunts. Although each installation’s Single Marine Program coordinates many of these holiday activities, all Marines are welcome.
Don’t let the holiday blues get you down. Many installations also offer a variety of workshops such as combatting holiday stress, 12 days of fitness, and more.
For more information on Semper Fit & Recreation and/or SMP sponsored holiday activities, contact your installation’s Semper Fit Director.
