Enjoy one last mini-vacation with your FAMILY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!
Spend 3-days, 2-nights glamping in a luxurious cabin in the woods.
Meals, nature crafts and other kid-friendly outdoor activites are
included.
This midweek adventure will offer families delightful hikes along with
rustic nature crafts,wearable art, a science project, and a canoe
excursion. Hiking activities will refresh and reunite us with the
pristine woods and wildlife. One hike will feature plant and tree
identification. Later, at the lodge, inspired naturalists will design
tee shirts using leaf printing techniques. Each family will also
create a woodland style terrarium to remind them of the explored
forest terrain. There will be plenty of time for families to relax and
engage in activities on their own. After an evening campfire we will
take long deep breaths and gaze up as stars pierce the darkening sky!

year olds. Sample schedule includes:
