Go kayaking off the coast of Narragansett. Take a skiing trip to Loon Mountain. Go sailing in Newport harbor. Play some tennis at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, or head to the fairway at the Newport National Golf Club.
Did you know that you can do all of these activities if you are in Rhode Island? Most of them are right in Newport, a city rich with tourism. If you're a student at Salve Regina University in Newport, you go kayaking, skiing and take other trips with the school's Outdoor Adventure Committee.
