No School Day Forest Camp
with Ms Katie
Come spend the day being wild and free at Crosby Farm! This camp is designed especially for kids who don’t always thrive in traditional environments. This will be a camp and a space where kids can: move their bodies, regulate in nature, follow their curiosity, take social breaks when needed, and be met exactly where they are. All while learning some history of the land, engaging in incredible deep play, and receiving some much needed regulation from nature.
The basics
Date: May 26th 9am-1:00pm
Location: Crosby Regional Farm Park Pavilion at Park Trailheal (2400 Crosby Farm Trail)
Cost: $55 per family
Ages: 1st-5th grade
We’ll spend the day outside exploring, building, creating, and connecting- without pressure! This is an excellent camp for kiddos who need space to do deep imaginative play/work and who love to engage in play that needs more space for movement and sound.
