All programs for children have a mission/vision.
Ours is quite simple.
Fun!
Along the way, we will certainly learn a little something and make good friends and be enriched by art and nature, but basically we are here to have fun.
Because during the summer that's what a kid needs.
In this case, fun will be had outside and making stuff.
Running around in the woods and creating.
Swimming, wading, catching critters, building forts, making mud slides.
We also like to read stories, play silly games, cook, go crazy with the hose, build gnome homes,
tie dye, and stretch our imaginations as far as possible in a bazillion different ways.
Art + Nature = Right On
Forts, creeks, hikes, bouldering, building, collecting and exploring, snakes and lizards,
crawdads and waterfalls, trails and caves ..... gently guided adventures with room for the mind and body to roam free in a beautiful natural setting.
Also, gardening, slack lining, baking, story-telling, jumping, running, yelling and laughing.
We have a fairy woodland, crazy boulders, a mountain, a hose, a club house, a national forest, and a limitless imagination...all the ingredients!

We will be a small group.

This will be summer as it should be. Exciting and laid back, with lots of room for growth and skill building, and also space to retreat and create and relax. Mixed ages will create a helping and all-inclusive environment.
