Colony Resident Activities
Colony Activities - November 2025
Friday, November 21 - Geography Bee
In celebration of today’s Fun Friday theme “World Travel Day” residents will compete in a Geography Bee. A geography bee is similar to a spelling bee, but asks questions about geography instead of spelling words. It encourages curiosity about the world and tests knowledge of the political, human, cultural and physical geography of different regions. Just like any other game or competition in The Colony it will be a laid-back event filled with fun and laughter and the winner will receive a great prize. The Bee will take place in The 19th Hole at 2 p.m. Sign up online by NOON on Friday, November 7. When signing up please specify whether or not you plan on participating or watching.
