Description
In every camp, we will do our core routines of expanding sensory awareness, wandering, befriending local plants and animals, mindful sit spot, storytelling, music, and thanksgiving. Morning and end circle are times for bonding, sharing and setting the tone of kindness and safety.
There will be lots of time for child-led play, following the emergent imagination of the kids at the moment. We will introduce activities like mapping, tracking, journaling, land art and crafts, shallow water play, building forts and fairy houses, making fire and fire safety. We recognize the benefits of adventurous play yet take many measurements to ensure safety. We co-assess and co-manage risk with the children so that they learn to acknowledge, manage and overcome risks, in order to be exposed to the benefits of risk, rather than the hazards.
Camps will follow our COVID19 safety protocols: always outside, a daily screening for symptoms, more handwashing, less shared things /games involving touch, more distance, smaller groups.
