Horseback at Faith Hill Farm (14 spots available)
Located at 2056 Division Rd. in East Greenwich, Faith Hill Farm is proudly owned and operated by Pamela Steere-Maloof, and Pam established the
farm in 1991 under the premises that the farm would provide a safe haven to all animals. Faith Hill Farm is a full service equestrian facility, and our
riders will get to work with the URI Equestrian Team in working on basic riding skills and improving upon existing skills. Spots are limited so sign up
early!
High Ropes Course @ Newport YMCA: Rock Wall & Flying Squirrel (7 spots available)
Ropes course events are exceptional ways for people to build trust and self-confidence, overcome fears or challenges, and strengthen bonds. With
guidance from the great staff at the Newport YMCA, the course provides opportunities for participants to expand their comfort zones and overcome
fears. The 4-sided Climbing Tower is approximately 45 feet high, and the Flying Squirrel element itself consists of an overhead pulley connected to a
high anchor point with a length of static rope suspended from ground to pulley to ground. A participant (the squirrel) is clipped into one end of the
rope and is slowly pulled up to the anchor point by a committed group of haulers at the other end of the rope. This is a particularly useful event in that
it allows students who are intimidated by height, climbing, or with physical limitations, to experience height without having to commit to climbing.
Jiu-jitsu Class @ West Bay Martial Arts Club (15 spots available)
We will meet at the dojo of Dave Ghigliotty’s West Bay Martial Arts Club located at 278 Lincoln Ave. in Warwick, for a series of classes on this ancient

Court too. The fee for Dave & Buster’s only covers staffing and transportation, you will need to bring money for games and dinner.
Monster Mini Golf & Arcade (15 spots available)

is also a big arcade so don’t forget to bring extra money for games.
