Above & Below: Forest Adventures

The forest has been quiet over the winter, but it's coming back to life under our very feet! We'll search for all the life that lies beneath the leaf litter like snails, worms, and roly polys! We'll learn about the fungi that have sprouted and search for fun treasures like quartz crystals. When we're not exploring the forest below, we'll be looking up high as we climb trees and learn to launch fun projectiles. In addition to the theme-related activities listed above, every week of camp may include some classic Schoolhouse activities such as: morning and closing circle, water time, deep woods and field games, whittling, storytelling, and of course, looking for any critters we can find! We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible, even on chilly days! Please send your camper dressed for the weather.
