Summer Camps for Children
Summer is a wonderful time to experience creativity and fun in and with nature!
As in all of our programs, during camp, we honor and nourish relationships with ourselves, each other, and Earth. We value our dynamic home landscapes of west Marin and the unique inner landscape of each child.
Our holistic approach to place-centered nature education weaves Nature Connection, Expressive Arts, and Wellness Practices.
Nature Connection–-nature walks, awareness activities, nature explorations through play and science.
Expressive Arts--place-based arts and crafts, creative writing, storytelling, movement.
Wellness Practices–tending the inner landscape through mindfulness, communication skills, gratitude, kindness, kinship.
Each camp has a specific theme, which will be a thread throughout our days together.
