Happy Camp is a transformative event designed to create inclusive and welcoming space on the beach for youth and families of all abilities, especially those with physical or developmental challenges, who may not typically have the opportunity to experience our beautiful shores. Each event offers adaptive surf therapy tailored to participants’ abilities, guided yoga for mindfulness and relaxation, beach art creation to inspire creativity, music and drumming circles, nature strolls to connect with the environment, and beach cleanup competitions to foster environmental stewardship.

The day concludes with a celebratory Hi Five Award Ceremony to honor each athlete’s courage and achievements in the surf. Happy Camps are designed to enhance confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging through shared experiences for individuals who often struggle with exclusion and isolation. With activities, food, laughter, and the camaraderie of friends and family, these events uplift with unforgettable moments of joy, strength, and connection that continue to ripple out long after the sun has set on the event.

Wellness for Us (an offshoot of my long running Yoga For Us series) at Carson Beach will be a seasonal gathering that invites Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to spend intentional time at the water in community, with space to play, rest, daydream, and simply be. Each event in the series will carry its own theme, offering different ways to engage in wellness-centered practices that feel accessible, gentle, and nourishing.

Gatherings will be approximately two to two and a half hours. We will begin by arriving together with a warm welcome and simple grounding, followed by very gentle movement to help participants land in their bodies. From there, attendees will be invited into a slower rhythm. There will be opportunities to read, journal with guided prompts, connect through low-pressure games, and receive a sound meditation near the water. The intention is to support nervous system settling while also making space for joy, curiosity, and inner child reconnection.

This series is an intentional act of presence, community care, and reclamation.

FREE with museum admission or membership; no pre-registration required. Tour meets on 4th floor.

What if healing didn't happen within four walls?

What if some of the medicine we've been searching for could be found in the rustling of leaves, the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of our breath, and the simple act of slowing down together?

Join us for the inaugural Nature as Sanctuary experience, a mindful outdoor gathering designed to help us reconnect with ourselves, one another, and the natural world.

Together we will explore gentle movement, mindfulness practices, guided reflection, and meaningful connection while immersed in nature's wisdom.

Volunteers will pair up and head out in canoes to hand-pull water chestnut, an invasive aquatic plant that spreads over the water surface, crowding out native plants and altering the water chemistry.

MyRWA will provide the canoes, paddles, life jackets, and gloves. Be sure to wear sunscreen and clothes/footwear that you don't mind getting dirty and wet! We recommend quick-dry fabrics and water sandals.

Event capacity is limited based on the number of canoes we have on site — pre-registration is required and please only register if you will make it that day! 

**Note: you must be 6 years or older to participate. Youth aged 6-11 may participate under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian. Youth aged 12-17 may participate without a parent or guardian present at the event but waivers must be signed by a parent or guardian beforehand.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Greenway Carousel at The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Grove on The Greenway. Take a spin on one of our native New England carousel creatures, located in the heart of downtown Boston.

This is the only carousel of its kind. The hand-carved characters are inspired by the air, sea and land animals of Boston Harbor, and by the imaginations of children. The Conservancy challenged students from around Boston to draw carousel characters they wanted to ride. Now you can fly on the wings of a Peregrine Falcon, sit astride the mythical Sea Serpent Gondola, or honor an endangered animal like the Green Sea Turtle.

In partnership with the Institute for Human Centered Design, we’re proud to have created the most ADA-compliant carousel in the region. Going well beyond wheelchair accessibility, the unique and important features make it possible for people with physical, sensory and cognitive disabilities to join in on the fun. Come for a spin!

Meet your 2026 Graffiti/Street Artists-in-Residence at Lynch Family Skatepark: Victoria DelValle and Ananda Toulon! Boston-based visual artists DelValle and Toulon built a strong creative relationship through their shared fellowship at Artists For Humanity, and the 2026 skatepark residency marks the formal project debut of their work as a duo. Together, DelValle and Toulon bring complementary strengths in visual narrative, spray-paint fluency, and community-centered making—creating work that evolves through presence, dialogue, and participation. You won’t want to miss their visual signatures of saturated color and surreal symbolism emerge and flow on the concrete pillar backdrop of skaters shredding all summer.

Come celebrate with us at Lynch on Saturday, May 30 (12–4pm, all ages, free!) for Double Take: Skate, Paint, Imaginate. Meet Victoria and Ananda, catch live painting in action, skate, connect, or simply vibe. We’ll have a live DJ, snacks, and a whole lot of joy!
