• Morning Yoga

  Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind, and spirit. Enjoy this morning session that will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being. What a great way to start your day!

• Downtown Scavenger Hunt

  Based on the popular “Itty-Bitty City” Scavenger hunt, you will search for up-close images of various details visible throughout downtown Fredericksburg. Find the items and note what they are, as well as their location. You will be in teams of 2-3. Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams!

  32 participants maximum

• Ferry Farm Tour

  George Washington was 6 years old in 1738 when his family moved to a farm in Stafford County, Virginia. The Washingtons called this place the Home Farm but it later became known as Ferry Farm because people crossed the Rappahannock River on a ferry from the farm to the town of Fredericksburg. On this self-guided tour, visitors can see the site where the Washington house stood overlooking the Rappahannock River, walk down the old ferry road, enjoy the hiking trails, and watch for birds in the Wild Meadow.

  10 participants minimum
  Additional Cost: $7/person

• Rush Hour Escape Room

  A Live Escape Game is an interactive experience where you and your group pick a room with a themed mission (find the lost jewel, escape the pirate’s brig, or clear your name of murder.) You’ll be surrounded by puzzles, clues, and codes that you will solve by working together as a team. Don’t worry, no one is ever locked in any room, and you will have the help of your own personal Game Master who will be watching you play and can provide nudges, clues, and hints when you need them. To add to the fun: costumes are available!

  40 participants maximum
  Additional Cost: $22.50/person

• Grief Through the Eyes of Our Children

  Suffering a loss, no matter how traumatic it may be, can leave you facing an uphill struggle to climb. Grief is the body’s natural response to losing someone or something important to you. In this workshop, talk with a licensed grief counselor about this emotion that we sometimes don’t address enough.
