Summer Camps are offered each summer and run for one week Monday - Thursday from 9:30 to 12 noon. A different theme is explored each day.  Fees are $85/week and include all materials and a snack. 

We will spend the morning exploring the woods and inhabitants; observing creatures in their natural habitats; listening to animal stories; learning to walk silently in the woods, collecting frogs, toads, and salamanders; observing and releasing what we find; experiencing the natural world with each of our senses; and journaling our findings through writing,drawings, and other expressions.

Some of the special themes of our summer camps are:

    Earth Sights and Sounds                The Tall Grass Zoo
    The World Under Your Feet            Frogs, Salamanders and Toads
    Nature Detectives                            Life Under A Log 
    Backyard Birds                                Hawks and Owls
    Bugs and Insects                             Butterflies and Moths

A typical morning will evolve like this:
9:30      Arrival/Sitting circle
9:45      Animal story time
10:00    What will we find in the woods today?
10:45    Journal time
11:00    Snack
11:15    Swamp exploration
11:30    Quiet observations in nature
11:45    Sitting circle
12:00    Pick up

We will gain inspiration from the Native American traditions that teach we are part of the natural world and not separate from it.
