Our Summer Season of Learning involves acclimating to change, increasing our capacity for care, and finding ways to give back. We develop gratitude for perceptual reciprocity and interspecies communication.
​
Each week our camps will focus on a different Regenerative Ecology Skill and Awareness. Learn a skill of wilderness survival while also playfully acting like a dinosaur hunter, mystery solver, or time-traveler! Make DIY crafts in sewing, ceramics, or weaving. Delve into role-playing, game design, or theater magic. Our early childhood Guides offer friendly care and attention while helping kids build confidence and connection.
​
Children will move their bodies, wander and explore, take on responsibilities, practice fine motor skills, do hands-on projects, tell their own stories, make up songs, and play to their heart's content. All of our programs are a positive way for children to re-connect with nature and their relationship to it. We acknowledge children spend quite a bit of time inside, on screens, or focused on academic skills, and we offer a way for children to learn holistically - that is, with their whole selves. By collaboratively designing their days, children also learn vital relational and problem-solving skills, gain positive mental health strategies & mindfulness techniques, and create ways to find purpose and community in their own backyards.
This is an all-outdoors program with seasonal learning and activities that will include activities to quiet the mind, to learn how to tap into our inner knowing. Following a natural and relaxed pace of our day together are vital. Children will spend time in a mixed-age group, and a portion of the day in smaller groups according to age.
​
Youth need to be dressed for the weather (on rainy days in full rain gear, on hotter days in sun protection, water-safe shoes, etc) for a full day of reconnecting to your wild side! Bring a lunch, snack and water bottle in a day pack. We can help find gear through a gear library if needed.
​
Summer session schedule are 4.5 days a week, Monday - Thursday 8:00 - 3:00, Fridays 8:00 - 12:00
