Join us Saturday, September 19th from 12–2 PM for playtime and soft serve.

We’ll also be handing out Summer Member shirts that day. If you don’t think you ever sent us your child’s shirt size, please message us so we can make sure we have the right one!

We’re also offering our Summer Members the option to keep their membership going through September & October at the same monthly rate:

1 child — $80
2 children — $135
Up to 4 children — $200

Summer Members will get first dibs on the fall membership spots. If we still have room after renewals, we may open a limited number of spots to other families, but availability will be limited.

Last week’s Little Gardeners Camp was SO much fun!

Our little gardeners planted, harvested, explored, created, and got their hands a little dirty along the way! 🥕🪴 We loved watching them learn through play and have so much fun doing it.

A HUGE thank you to B&B Trees for sponsoring this camp and helping us bring another special experience to our Friendies kiddos! 🌳💚 We’re so grateful for local businesses that support opportunities like these for our community!

Until our next adventure! ✨
