June is just around the corner, and so are our new summer hours! ☀️

Starting next week, Rutabaga Toy Library will be closed for play on Thursdays. We’re so excited to be using the time to prepare for our big move!

Members, don’t fret: we’ll be extra flexible with late fees and overdue toys during this time.

We appreciate your understanding that things might fluctuate as we get closer to the move. We’ll post any additional changes as they arrive, so stay up-to-date with the library schedule on our website and socials.

THANK YOU for your support while we continue to grow 🌱

Know an older kid who loves nature 🌿, camp 🏕️ and is ready to take on a leadership role?

We now offer two CIT pathways for teens:

Junior CITs (ages 12–14) enjoy the full camp experience with guided helper moments built in, at a steeply discounted tuition.

Camp CITs (ages 14–17) follow a more structured leadership track with a stipend, coaching and hands-on practice — with the goal of becoming a paid Counselor at 16+

Spots are limited and require an application, so don’t wait! Share this with a teen you know and encourage them to apply on our website in the “join our team
