Go outside and play! Get moving and have fun with tons of different backyard games. Aim flying discs into cans during Kan Jam, try to get bolas to catch onto the rungs of Ladder Ball, and toss bean bags into a classic cornhole board. Hit balls past your opponent off a trampoline net in Spike Ball, test your precision in Bocce by landing your ball closest to the pallino, and pitch horseshoes to score a ringer on the stake. Enjoy the thrill of friendly competition and the challenge of mastering new games.

Grab your sneakers and your curiosity—we’re heading out on a series of unforgettable day trips to explore epic stories and iconic places across the state. Follow the trail of midnight riders at Minuteman National Park, step aboard a legendary ship at the USS Constitution Museum, and roam Boston's cobblestone streets. We'll dive into the world of whales and whalers in New Bedford, visit the textile mills of Lowell, and check out the JFK Library and the Kennedy Institute to explore bold ideas and big decisions. Walk the paths of rebels, sailors, presidents, and changemakers—and see how their stories continue to shape the world. Itineraries are tentative and subject to change based on availability and weather.
