Outdoor Activity

Join your Ward 3 neighbors for a Friday evening picnic at the park! This laid-back get-together will be a fun way to meet new people, enjoy a beautiful park and get out of the house on a Friday evening. Bring your own picnic, blanket and lawn games. There will be an ice cream truck that stops by, too!

Join The Trustees of Reservations at the Stevens Coolidge Place for a a fun afternoon of Teddy Bears and Tea! There will be a storytime and picnic at the teddy bear garden.  We will begin with crafts, bubbles and a Bear Scavenger Hunt, followed by a storytime at 2PM and a picnic with light refreshments provided. Stuffed animal best friends encouraged to attend! Our friends at the Andover Bear Company will also be in attendance to fulfill all your teddy bear needs.

Kick off your summer soaked and smiling!  Join The Trustees of Reservations at the Stevens Coolidge Place for a a fun afternoon to celebrate the beginning of Summer break! It’s the last day of school! Join your friends and neighbors at The Stevens-Coolidge Place to celebrate the official start of summer with a water fight. Water balloons, squirt guns, sponge balls, etc encouraged.

In this outdoor survival skills program, we will venture out onto the Ipswich River. Learn the basics of canoe safety, paddle strokes, and the river knowledge needed to travel on the water. When we stop at Perkins Island, you will be challenged to explore the area and craft your own paddle out of natural materials, and then test it out on the paddle back to the mainland. No previous canoe or outdoor skills are necessary, just a strong survival instinct!
