We concluded an amazing week of Guardians of the Grove Camp today with adopting the beautiful wood’s animals that were secretly watching the guardians all week. We had an adoption party with real certificates and the new responsible guardians even took their new pets to the vet. The fun week was concluded with popsicles and a wagon ride back to meet the parents! It was a fabulous week capping with 20 kids today!!!

We will start back with our Thursday day camps next week and they will continue through the fall. Give us a call so your child can grow and explore through nature.

I had the honor and pleasure of training under Erin, what a gift to the field of nature play she was! Much of my many years of success in this field are due to her mentorship! Thanks Erin, Miss you!
