I came here this past weekend for a retreat with Judson Memorial Church…read more I stayed in the Lodge which is one of the buildings with sleeping quarters. in addition to sleep quarters, the Lodge has a huge dining room. For meals everything was served buffet style. there was always plenty to eat. Plus people have access to hot coffee and juices around the clock. There is a lake nearby for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The swimming part near the dock has markers to let people know how deep the water is. There are walking trails marked by different color markings to let you know which trail you're on and so you know you are following the right direction. Wear shoes with good traction on these trails as one could easily slip and fall.

It is a joyful place that attracts a diverse array of campers and counselors from a variety of backgrounds. The totally "unplugged" and screens-free experience (sleeping in platform tents in the woods, enjoying the use of a private lake for boating and swimming, arts and crafts, sports, overnight trips, and gleefully silly all-camp celebrations) is like no other, and if your child is looking for a supportive, welcoming place in which to make friends for a lifetime, I can't recommend it highly enough!

It is a year round tennis and paddle club with excellent instruction for both adults and children. The summer is great for racquet sports and enjoying the pool.

I have 3 boys who have been playing tennis here for years and spend everyday in the summer taking clinics and hanging out w/their friends. My husband and I met a number of couples who have become our best friends. The owner, pros and staff here are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Just up the road from Ashlawn Farms Coffee in a most picturesque section of Old Lyme, stone walls and multigenerational farms lead you to a farm with a small demure sign. "Yoga" it simply says. Driving slowly onto the property as requested on the website (animals live on the farm and slow driving is requested to protect them) down a long winding driveway through the farm towards, yes, a Big Red Barn rimmed in white holiday lights and surrounded by more old stone walls. The building itself, though looking like an old barn is new (or perhaps just gutted and rebuilt?) so new that one smells fresh unfinished wood inside. The interior is gorgeous with unfinished wide board wood walls, wood flooring, vintage style lighting with old style bulbs for warm glow, and huge picture windows. The crowd as well as the instructor was warm and welcoming. I was so nervous that I would be judged in this very wealthy area for not having the new style brand name yoga pants, or for being a curly headed slightly ethnic looking gal in the land of the whites, or for having a rusty dented up 20 year old honda. Nothing could be further from what I experienced. Diverse body types, friendly mellow people, normal workout clothes, and a very communal type class. Joan engaged us in introductions and had a light and fun attitude throughout the class. To me, it was exactly the right amount of meditative vibe, prompts to release stress, etc, that one expects with yoga without being too spirit chakra pseudo science. Most interesting was a series of balance poses in which we all gathered in a circle, and linked arms. That was different and really lovely to create a sense of community, and to make me feel even more welcome. The class itself was challenging (for me, having not done yoga in years) and yet I felt like I could keep up, slow down if I needed, and follow along. One of the corrections made on my pose was pretty amazing, ad helped my body click. Can't wait to try a daytime class to see the views out those big windows.
