Outside Activities

• Go to the nearby park, here you find shady spots with benches, a water fountain, and outdoor fitness machines. How to find the park? – when you go out of the Holt main gate turn left, cross the street at the intersection and turn left, walk up hill for about 400 meters the park entrance is on your right. If you go further up hill and cross the next intersection there is another park, here you can find a running track, a basket court and soccer field.
• The residents love to go for ice cream or a soda in a nearby shop. Take them in and let them do as much as they can by themselves.

• Take coloring books and crayons outside. There is a bench and a table by Holt school.
