Join us every Monday in July for this 5 week series. Centered on connecting kids with nature through self lead play. Each meet up starts off with an hour long rotating, co-creative outdoor activity. After which all are encouraged to stay for a lunch. Kindly ask folks to bring their own food, reusable plates, utensils, and blanket for epic group picnics. There are a couple picnic tables and some seating available. Lounge and linger, before heading home for nap time! Hopefully ;)
This is weather dependent, will cancel under unfavorable conditions for kids. When we do gather, we will be outside the entire time. Shade will be available on land and during lunch. Please come prepared to get dirty with necessary sun protection. In addition bringing appropriate H2O for adequate hydration. **Most importantly: Parents must be present with children at all times.
