Next Level Summer Fridays – For Ages 10 -15

Days for teens to just “be” — relaxing in hammocks, making art in nature, conversing and discussing topics with friends.  These Summer Fridays are designed for teens to de-stress, contemplate the world, and reflect on life with both quiet and social time, with art-making and skill-building as a focus.  The teens’ own interests lead the way with activities, nature observation, and art and craft materials such as painting, sewing, beading, sculpture, fiber, clay work, and more. There will be opportunities for wilderness skill-building, games, swimming and of course snack!  Your teens will come home feeling more connected, centered, and happy! Through daily woods and river explorations, featuring fun field experiences, teens will: Learn to read the landscape Practice wilderness skills Hike and learn local geography Study the waterways and aquatic life Create art from natural materials Learn more about the Earth’s amazing processes Make new friends! For ages 10 – 15 *Please note swimming is optional and not mandatory. Your young teen is welcome to continue with arts or skill-building during that time.
