A Field Guide for Families, Elders & Mystery-Loving Adults

Summer is here, and the kids are ready for fun—or at least to relax a bit and get into some mischief! To help with that last part, Community Health has created a summer-long adventure designed to promote well-being and keep things a little weird (in the best way).

 

There are no appointments to schedule, no clubs to join, and no deadlines to meet. Just a collection of exciting mysteries and creative missions—ready whenever your kid is. You can cheer them on, lend a hand, or jump in alongside them whenever you’d like.



We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences—ones that let them explore, ask questions, and make discoveries on their own terms. That’s where T.U.R.N.I.P. comes in.

This year’s adventure is guided by the Tulalip Underground Research Network of Inconceivable Phenomenon (T.U.R.N.I.P.).

Each “dossier” (activity sheet) has a variety of tasks that leads kids through creative missions involving strange sightings, unexplained phenomena, all linking back to community health practices, and some good snack recipes.

Kids can pick up T.U.R.N.I.P. case files for their age group (or not)  each week from the Community Health Center starting June 30th.

This program is made for kids in middle school and up, but the activities are fun for everybody!

We encourage participation from parents, grandparents, and elders.Whether you’re helping decode a clue or just tagging along on a mystery walk, your presence means a lot! 

T.U.R.N.I.P. case files will be available at Tulalip Community Health throughout the summer starting June 30th.

There are three different levels, in order of difficulty:

 

  • SENSITIVE
  • CLASSIFIED
  • TOP SECRET

Feel free to try different levels  to find your favorite stories.

Stop by every week to turn in the last case file, and pick up the next. Complete the tasks, write the final answers in your agent manual, turn them into Maggie at Community Health to get your raffle tickets!

When you turn in a completed case file, you’ll  be entered into a raffle for the chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2! 

 

  • We will give away a Nintendo Switch 2 to one agent per age group. 
  • Additionally we will be giving category-specific prizes to ensure other agents are recognized for their accomplishments!

T.U.R.N.I.P. case files will be available at the Tulalip Health Clinic throughout the summer starting June 30th. Stop by each week to pick up a case file, and turn it in by the end of the week to get a raffle ticket.

Each case file is secretly (or not-so-secretly) connected to services at Tulalip Community Health.

 

  • Nutrition-related activities or physical adventures might tie in with the diabetes program.
  • Others highlight wellness, storytelling, safety, or how to stay grounded in a sometimes-overwhelming world.

T.U.R.N.I.P. helps kids explore big ideas in through play, and helps families connect with the available resources.

  • Expect a little mess. Let them wear clothes they can get dirty.
  • Go with the weather. T.U.R.N.I.P. mysteries don’t stop for drizzle.
  • Pack a kid-kit. Art supplies, notebook, snacks, extra clothes.
  • Build excitement. Try a “mission wall” or display finished dossiers.

Hey there. While the kids are off on their wild adventures, you’ve got a moment. Maybe even a whole hour. Let’s make it yours.

 

Here are ten no-pressure ideas to help you recharge while they explore:

  • Sit down and do nothing for five minutes. No phone, no list, no goals. Just sit.
  • Make yourself a snack you don’t have to share. Maybe even eat it sitting down. Outside, if it’s nice.
  • Stretch. Just a few shoulder rolls or toe touches can help shake the day off.
  • Take a nap –  even if it’s just lying down with your eyes closed and the fan on.
  • Go for a walk with your best friend.
  • Give your eyes a screen break. Look out the window, trace the lines of a tree, or follow a bird in the sky.
  • Read something for fun. A book, a poem, a recipe, a comic – whatever gives your brain a smile.
  • Drink a big glass of water. Simple, powerful, often forgotten.
  • Step outside. Listen to the wind, notice the clouds, look at the world without trying to change it.
  • Do that one little thing you’ve been meaning to do – the tiniest errand or house repair.

Taking care of yourself helps you take care of others. You deserve this hour just as much as they do.
