Each camp session meets four days per week
Monday through Thursday from 9am until 2pm Sheep to Slippers Camp Monday - June 18th - Thursday June 28th During this two week program, children will explore the magical nature of wool, our gift from the sheep, as they design and wet-felt their very own slippers. We will spend our days caring for our sheep friends, washing and carding wool, and creating natural dye baths from vegetables and flowers. By the end of camp, all children will have their own pair of 100% wool slippers, handmade to fit their own feet! Cost ~ $350 for the two week program ($340 if paid in full by June 1st) Feast From the Fields - Monday July 9th - Thursday July 12th During this session, children will cook and bake with a variety of locally harvested grains and organic produce (all items are vegetarian - vegan and gluten-free diets are happily accommodated). We will become aware of our ingredients’ path from garden to plate, and we will bring home delicious treats to share with our families daily. Each camper will bring home recipes as well as a beautiful little herb garden on the last day of camp Cost ~ $180 for the one week program ($170 if paid in full by June 1st) Gnome Homes and Fairy Houses - Monday July 16th - Thursday July 26th Magic abounds as children are guided through the process of bringing their imaginative creations to life. Beautiful and resilient materials from nature are provided as children make lovely homes, furniture, accessories, and even wee little gnome and fairy families to dwell in their enchanting abodes. No toy is as special as one made with a child’s own hands and heart! Children who made these homes with us a decade ago still count them amongst their most treasured playthings! Cost ~ $350 for the two week program ($340 if paid in full by June 1st) |
During all camps there will be waterplay, storytelling, baking, circle-time, animal care, and plenty of play, both indoors and out. We will delight in walking along our nature trails in the forest as well as wading in the pond!
A hearty organic homemade snack will be prepared at camp daily and children will bring a lunch from home. Each child should bring a complete change of clothes, sturdy shoes for outdoor play, as well as slippers or lightweight shoes for indoors. Also suggested are a sun hat, bathing suit, towel, bug spray and sunscreen - all clearly labeled with your child’s name. A raincoat, boots and rain-pants (if available), are also requested - playing in the rain and puddles are one of summer’s many delights! Camp cost covers all materials and snacks. Due to the nature of our programming, groups are small and space is limited. Payment is due 2 weeks before the start of each camp, and there is a discount available to those who pay in full by June 1st. | ||
