Preschool Adventures: Trolls and Fairies
Ages 3–5 • $400
Come explore the magical forest, wooded paths, and brilliant Sunflower Hill as we gather natural materials to create fairy houses and troll dwellings. Moss becomes a carpet, twigs transform into a roof, pebbles pave the way for little feet. What does your fairy or troll look like? Can it perform magic or does it have superpowers? We are only limited by our imaginations! Bring your pieces home or leave them in the woods for our fairy friends and trusted trolls, it’s up to you! Combined with our water play, outdoor adventures, and fun art projects, this is going to be a very magical time!

Creep, Glide, and Soar!
Entering Grades 1–3 • $400
When it comes to moving around, animals seem to have super powers! How does the hawk soar looking for prey? How does the snake slither under the green brush without any legs? Why doesn’t a water bug sink as it skates across a fresh puddle? Join us as we explore animal locomotion. From hollow bones to wavy scales and beyond, we’ll search for critters on the move as we hike through the wooded forest, explore Sunflower Hill, and take in the sky above. We’ll round out our days with camp games and art creations.
Group Leader: Ellyn Einhorn
