All of the below activities share some common characteristics.  They are not team sports that require a high level of organization.  None require more than 4 participants, and many can be done alone or with one friend.  The costs range from free to reasonable.  Many are suitable for people with special needs.  All except one are outdoors and require a moderate to high level of physical exertion.  All can be enjoyed no matter what level of skill a person has.  Age is not a factor.  All are convenient, and, where necessary, instruction is usually available.

We welcome your participation.  An active life style is a healthy life style.
