Rock Climbing - Date Idea #15

Rock Climbing is Epic! The whole experience is challenging and exciting! Find an adventurous date and go climbing =) You can climb indoors or outdoors making this a year-round date! Grab some gear, get a group together, and there ya go! Climbing is such a cool opportunity. Learn something new! Enjoy the exhilaration of accomplishment and the chance to work together! It is a test of strength and mental endurance. Rock climbing provides a rewarding experience as you do something difficult...together. 

Climbing is a very different activity than some other dates you've been on. It is active, unique,

and so much fun! Try following routes marked with tape (if indoors) or a new angle on the rock 

(if outdoors). You could spend hours and hours going up and down the wall:)

So... what are you waiting for?! There is your next date!

Cost: Medium (for equipment and pass)

Dress: Comfortable Sportsware

Mini Golf - Date Idea #14

Mini-Golfing is the perfect date! It is less expensive than regular golf and is geared towards fun rather than skill. Enjoy this easy sport while walking through a beautiful nature course. Mini-Golf is simple to play and uses very little equipment (you only have to carry around your golf club!) Go on a double date or take a big group! Keep score and trash talk as you make sweet puts or miss by a long shot =) Enjoy a little adventure outside while you talk with your date and hit the ball on the course.

Cost: Low (for club, ball, and pass)

Dress: Casual

Photography Trip - Date Idea #13

Who doesn't love to go on a date?! Who doesn't love the chance to take pictures?! Mixing the two is just too good to be true!:) A Photography trip has got to be the one of the ULTIMATE Date Ideas! Everyone LOVES taking pictures, whether they are capturing a crystal clear landscape of the mountains or doing a couple selfie, this date is a blast! Whether you have a nice DSLR or just your Smartphone, photography is literally a 24/7 year-round date option. Pictures can be taken during the day or night, in the summer or the winter, downtown or high in the mountains. On top of that, this date is 100% free! 

There are lots of ways to express ourselves. One may use words, writing, music, and art. I believe photography is one of the best ways to capture and express feeling. To prove my point, one may remember the time-old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

Enjoy the excitement as you search for the perfect pic. Give suggestions, photo bomb, snap selfies, capture a Pano, or even do a time lapse. You could try taking pictures of your picture taking! Convince your date to model for you and give them some awesome new profile photos:)

You may want to bring a tripod, a selfie stick, a backpack, and a snack to sustain you on your adventure. Take your group of friends to discover the world of photography. If your date already loves photography you will hit a home run with this one.

And...the fun and happiness will continue even after the magical experience is over because then you get to share all the pics you took!!!

Bonus Idea: Try going to multiple places in one day (or night) to take pictures!

Cost: FREE!

Dress: Dependent on Picture taking location

Below: Check out some amazing pictures you could take with your date as you enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience! Some of these pics are edited and some are naturalistic. They may be of mountains, old wire, or blossoming flowers...the important thing is that the pictures were taken not by 'professional' photographers but teens just like you that love capturing this beautiful world we live in. How fun would it be to take stunning photos like these with your date. Comment below on your favorite 3 pics! Put the name of the photographer (as noted below each pic) and what the photo captured:)

Picnic (Outdoor or Indoor!) - Date Idea #11

Spring is upon us. Birds fly from branch to branch chirping their beautiful tune. The warm sun shines down on the tender shoots of a tulip. The laughter of children rings through the park. It is picnic season!!! Taking a lunch to eat on a checkered cloth reminds one of their childhood. Enjoy the wonderful weather, the company of your date, and scrumptious sandwiches. Chop up some watermelon, grab a bag of chips, mix a glass of lemon aid, and you have the perfect outing. Play tag on the grass (or playground), bring a frisbee to play ULTIMATE Frisbee (or Frisbee golf), you could even just sit in the shade and talk. The options are endless! Totally casual, no pressure, just you and your group having fun in the sun.

What if a nasty Thunder Strom ruins your picnic plans? Have no fear! Try having your picnic indoors!! Indoor picnics are sometimes even better than outdoor ones. It will be something fresh and new for everyone!
