Boyne Mountain – Spring Break – March 28 to April 13, 2014

Spring break. The phrase alone conjures images of wild parties, late nights, and questionable decision making. And we’re just talking about the toddlers.

At Boyne Mountain we’re big fans of fun – in all its forms. And during Spring Break, we’ll stop at nothing to provide great food, outstanding entertainment and a roster of raucous activities, with plenty of excitement for every age group. Gather your friends. Collect your family. But no matter what you do, find your way here. We have a whole new season to celebrate.

See Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark and Arcade hours and information.

SnowSports activities, including skiing/snowboarding and tubing, are offered daily. Weather dependent.

See Solace Spa’s menu, including treatments and fitness class schedule.

Childcare and Fritz’s Adventure Camp offered daily at Helga Haus Children’s Learning Center; 3 months – 12 years, extended evening hours available, reservation required.
