YOGA - GARDENING - ARTS & CRAFTS

Kids have fun in the morning sun at Gardenheads Summer Camp. Mornings begin with yoga and expectations of behavior for Gardenheads. When our bodies are all stretched out and and our minds ready, we begin gardening. Campers learn all aspects of organic gardening and do arts and crafts from natural and found objects. From butterflies to grub worms, we explore the insect world. Kids will plant, tend and harvest vegetable, herb and flower gardens and eat what they grow! Organic concoctions will be made to fertilize and protect the natural way. This ideal setting has plenty of sun and shade for a comfortable and fun week plus a cool Camp House for inside activities. Ending Fridays feature face painting by Miss Camille and each camper will receive a Gardenheads Tshirt from their camp experience.

1. Harvesting lots of vegetables. From pulling up giant cabbages to finding the perfect radish, searching for pea pods and cutting lettuce, there is lots to take home and eat this time of year.

2. Perfect weather for being outdoors and enjoying nature.  Fresh spring air, warm sunshine and moist soil stimulate our senses.

3. Making kites. Fly something unique to the kite festival this year!

4. Planting seeds. Heirloom seeds in paper pots make fantastic additions to your home garden.  Get an early start on your summer garden with seeds and plants your child brings home.

5. Tending to baby seedlings.  Kids love to water and nurture the small plants with compost tea.  We see every stage of a plants life-cycle.

6.  Ladybugs and butterflies. Searching for bugs, the good and the bad is an exciting part of organic gardening.  Learning about habitats creates a sense of wonder about insects and their lives.

7.  Yoga outdoors.  What better way to start the day than yoga out in the fresh air?  Stretch and strengthen your body, fill your lungs with oxygen and begin your day in natural light.

8.  No mosquitoes (we hope)

9.  Perfect for beginner Gardenheads. Come one day or any combination of days.
