Whatta great week for finding bugs, building forts, hiking to the falls, flying through the air, and spending some quite time doing some crafts. Oh and yes, don’t forget the cold showers to cool us down!

Our oldest group of the summer got to work right away on tree forts that they would get to hang out in for the week. It was a week of learning to work together, feeding Sammy, ziplines galore, visits to the waterfall and lookoff, and so much more!
Another week of sun and warm temperatures found us giving out ice showers, hanging out in hammocks, swinging on the swing, greeting the hugging tree, bouncing on the slackline, meeting forest critters, playing hide and seek, and relaxin’ in the forest.
Our first summer camp of full days and they were full of fun!!! We filled the days swining on the swing with friends, explored the forest around us, shared stories, made faces (and almost broke the camera!), crafted, nibbled, and met some critter friends along the way.
Our first session of the summer! We welcomed some familiar and new faces to join us as we romped around in the forest, met the hugging tree, climbed mountains, built a helicopter, said hi to some forest critters, and played. At the end of the week, a huge puddle formed as a result of heavy rain and we had a spectacular morning splashing about.
There was a lot of fun to be had during our past spring sessions! Here are some of the photos from our afternoons of play!
This spring brought us cool wet weather to start and then with the warming, we had our share of mosquitoes. We had a lot of fun building things, exploring a local waterfall and wetland area, hanging out in hammocks, building fairy gardens, and sharing morning adventures while meeting some new friends!
Session 1: Thursday, May 3, 2018
First days are so fun-meeting new friends and figuring out how we are going to be together in the forest. So fun, in fact, we forgot to snap photos! Our afterschool program is all about getting the yayas out after sitting for much of the day. It often takes us a while to get down into the area where we like to play as we check out the Fortress of Relaxation, the Minecraft cliff, the sleeping dragon, chucking an acorn at the sign to get in, and finally having snack together, despite the lack of evidence, we did have some fun!

A busy morning with the boys, building bridges, climbing, getting water, making muffins, and helping to get the site set up!
Session 1: Wednesday, May 2, 2018
What a perfect spring morning to discover new friends! We venture over to stinky brook, the open hill, the spiky spruce, and chocolate milk mud marsh. Exploring critters, building a balancing bridge, and discovering all things wet and gooey!
