Outdoor Games and Projects for Kids and Families

Turn your yard into an outdoor sports venue

Now through Fall, outdoors is the place to be when the weather is right.  Why not create a playful environment in your own yard?  There are plenty of ways to transform your back yard into the go-to destination for the neighborhood and have your children begging to go play outside.  Of course there's the usual swing set, or basketball hoop, but there are plenty of other ways to keep kids and adults entertained in the yard!

New Years Labyrinth: A Winter Walk

Start the New Year with a mindful labyrinth experience in Ipswich Massachusetts

Celebrate the New Year with a Walk in the Winter Labyrinth on New Years Day, 2016 at Strawberry Hill, 56 Jeffrey's Neck Road, on Smith Island, along the Eagle Hill River.  At its most basic the labyrinth is a metaphor for life's journey. The labyrinth is not a maze. There are no tricks to it and no dead ends. It has a single circuitous path that winds its way into the center. The person walking it uses the same path to return from the center and the entrance then becomes the exit. The path is in full view, which allows a person to be quiet and focus internally.
