Join us for a whole week of exploring! We will be out at the fabulous Mary Moore Searight Park, and the trails offer seclusion and lots of opportunities for exploration. Because we like to follow the children's interests, there are sure to be new discoveries each day, and we will guide and support them as their curiosities arise. Each camp offers the opportunity to learn about many things, depending on the children's interests. Past interests and topics include Leave No Trace ethics, Biomimicry, plant and bird identification, geocaching, tracking animals, solar energy, learning about rocks and water and their history, mapping, and so much more! During the week, I ask the children to choose an organism with which they want to connect with and learn more about, whether it's an animal, plant, or element. It is a sweet way to experience our connection with Nature, discover our interconnectedness with all beings, and find empowerment as agents of healing change. Many children also enjoy adopting a "nature name" during the week, and some even connect deeply with a "spirit animal." This camp is for ages 5 and up, at Mary Moore Searight Park June 15-19, 2020 from 9am-3pm $275 for one child, $500 for two This camp requires a $50 deposit to hold your spot, which will be deducted from the total cost. Deposits may be paid online, & remaining balances may be paid online or on your child's first day of camp. |
