Soon, the skies will turn greyer, the temperatures will plummet further and days will feel even shorter.
It’s easy to stay inside and hunker down for the winter months. But even when you’d rather stay indoors, Sheridan has plenty going on. Here’s a list of things and groups to get involved with, whether you’re looking to get out of the house — or not.

The rec district offers two adult winter programs: women’s volleyball and men’s basketball. The rec district also hosts a series of 5K races during the fall and winter months. Whether looking to join a team — or coach one — the rec district always needs volunteers.

Exercise at the Y with a membership or one-day pass. The Y runs myriad fall and winter classes, which you can participate in or help teach. In the winter, pickleball open play moves inside, too. If you’re looking for something non-physical, the YMCA kicks off its annual Give Your Heart to a Child campaign, which raises money and creates scholarship opportunities for low-income youth, families and seniors.
