It is almost Sportlov time here in Jamtland! What is Sportlov? Sportlov means ”Sportsbreak”. They actually schedule sportlov by region so depending on what region you live in in Sweden, the schools are closed and some businesses for one week in order for families to participate. This avoids over-crowding, lack of lodging, etc. In Jamtland, our sportlov is during week 10.
There are a lot of activities offered during this week for children/families to participate. For example the museum may have special activities, or a child can learn about different sports such as horseback riding, basketball or floor ball. The swimming hall has special hours to accomodate during sportlov. Some families use this time traditionally to go skiing but some families choose to go to a warmer climate. Ain't Sweden great?
I think it is great having a nationally scheduled week to take off and enjoy a healthy time with your family. What am I doing during spotlov? Well Lars will be away at work which is a bummer but a necessity. I am going to be cooking, killing dust bunnies, having lunch with friends and sleeping in. Doesn’t that sound really sporty?
