Activities on the Grounds

If the structured events of the Institute aren't your style there is an abundance of activities within the grounds to entertain the children or the inner-child in you. While many think that reading a book on the beach by the Bell Tower is an ideal way to pass the day, below are just a few suggestions for a lively afternoon. Do everything or do nothing, no one will judge you. We here at the Tally-Ho and the Mardelle just want to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
