6 Activities To Soak Up The Sun At The Clairmont

Our beautiful outdoor common areas are the perfect spot to step outside and enjoy the weather in Austin. We also have plenty of organized outdoor community activities for our residents to enjoy daily. Here are our top six activities to do around our community:

• 1. Instead of reading a book inside, step outside and read your book in our courtyard.
• 2. Connecting with nature is a great way to get creative. Try drawing, journaling, or painting outdoors.
• 3. If you’re looking to stay active, try getting your steps outside around the community. You can listen to your favorite music while you’re exercising. Make sure you stay hydrated and protect yourself from too much sun.
• 4. Have a phone call outside with a loved one in our courtyard for a change of scenery.
• 5. Do you have a portable hobby? For instance, cross-stitching and knitting can be taken outside to complete at one of our sitting areas.
• 6. Get social while enjoying the sun with one of your favorite board games. We have plenty of games to choose from in the activity center that you can bring outside.
