Rainy Weather? Try A Dorm Room Workout!

We hope the weather will become weather and students can get outside to go for walks, go for a run or play basketball and tennis. When the cold or rainy weather is a deterrent to going outside and getting some exercise, your son/daughter can still stay healthy and get fit inside their residence hall! Take a look at this great article on easy and fast exercises that college students can do without leaving their dorm room!

8 Local Hikes You Have to Try! Guest blogger: Chris Scott

Local Hike Guide

Although not known for its outdoors, Connecticut has plenty of options for those willing to look. 

Bluff Point State Park
Bluff Point State Park
Distance from Thames: 10-15 minutes
Address: Depot Road, Groton, CT 06340
Description:  Bluff Point State Park offers a scenic walk around the Connecticut shoreline. The main loop is about three miles long and runs through the woods and right on the shore. Elevation gain is minimal which makes this hike great for all ages. Wonderful vista views of the Long Island Sound, a beach and great aviation watching as the Groton-New London Airport is nearby. This trail is also a popular horseback riding trail so be on the lookout for horses. 
Things to do nearby: The free Submarine Force Museum location at the Groton Sub Base is a wonderful attraction.  Mystic is also close by and offers a great array of dining and recreation options.
