As the leaves change from a vibrant green to a crisp orange, and the air turns crisp, fall brings a whole new array of fun and exciting activities for especially high school students. Here’s a list of ways to make the most of this vibrant season!
- Pumpkin Picking
Head to a local pumpkin patch with friends! Enjoy the thrill of selecting the perfect pumpkin for carving or decorating. Many farms, like Robinette’s and Olin Farm, also offer hayrides and corn mazes, adding to the fun!
- Apple Picking
Visit an orchard and spend a day picking apples. It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, and you can harvest to bake delicious pies or make apple cider for later. September to October is the perfect time to go apple picking, so go to your local orchard soon!
- Haunted House Visits
Halloween is almost coming up! What’s better than getting a good scare before Halloween? Gather your friends and check out a local haunted house or spooky attractions. The Haunt in Wyoming is one of the few locations perfect for a good scare. It is a fun way to embrace the Halloween spirit!

Organize a bonfire night with friends and family. Roast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and enjoy the warmth of the fire under the stars. Don’t forget the hot chocolate!

Take advantage of the beautiful fall scenery by organizing a photoshoot with you and your friends! Dress in your favorite fall outfit and capture the colorful backdrop.
