Forest Friends
July 1st - July 12th
First week FULL; 1 space in second week--CONTACT US BEFORE REGISTERING
Ages 5 - 10
During this session we will spend much of our time in the forest, building tree forts, adventuring and exploring. There will be ample time for in-depth imaginitive play as well as many structured non-competitive games. These games and activites emphasize working together and rely on group harmony and cohesion. In order to achieve success, the children will have to pool thoughts, skills, and energy. These activities offer a great, fun and inspiring metaphor for life.
This session will have 2 or 3 trip days each week. We set the schedule based on weather and send out an email on with the tentative schedule on Sunday. We then send a confirmation email out each evening by 7pm confirming our location for the next day. Caregivers drop off/pick up at Camp Base (Mt. Toby Meetinghouse) on base days. On trip days, Cargivers are responsible for drop off and pick up at our trip location for that day. Trip day locations for this session may include:
