Sometimes we go sledding with our crews. No apologizes here. Our facility is right next to a park that boasts the best sliding hill in town. Once or twice a year when the kids arrive right after a fresh snowfall we take advantage of that hill. The spontaneity, strenuous exercise in racing back up the hill, the sheer joy of doing something so crazy all work to send the kids back to school refreshed and ready to tackle anything.
Do I recommend this for every day of school? Absolutely not. But for a mid-winter day on the coast of Maine where the snow may yield any minute to the tempering effect of the Atlantic ocean, I recommend it as the most worthy education activity in the world.
