Greetings from the Institute for Wild Intelligence!
We are excited to announce our 2014 WILD PLAY SUMMER CAMPS! All the details are below! Register now...camps are in high demand and fill fast!
Do you want your child to spend time outside and exploring the natural world this summer with passionate adult mentors? Do you remember what it was like to play in the creek when you were young...playing hide and seek, climbing trees, building forts? Maybe you didn’t have a forest to run around and explore...but you want that for your child. Our summer camps are a great way to begin the lifelong journey to deep connection to nature. At our summer camps they become a part of the landscape, by getting to know and become at home in nature through games, stories, explorations, and some really fun, ancient nature skills along the way!
The feedback we receive over and over is there is a vital aliveness and sparkle in the children’s eyes after their days at camp...and they are inspired and excited to spend more time outside!
To register or if you have any questions, please contact Sarah Hubbard. When registering, please indicate which session you want to enroll in. Priority will be given to youth registering for both weeks of each session.
We look forward to seeing you this summer!
