Summer Holiday Sessions 2022
All of our Summer Holiday Programs provide hands-on experience learning with 2 indoor sessions and 3 outdoor sessions. Each program runs for 5 days, for 3.5 hours.
We use hands-on learning experiences and inquiry-based learning to teach empathy, confidence, creativity, curiosity, problem-solving, and resiliency. Our experiences provide relevant opportunities for questioning, reflection, evaluation, and conversation.
Shedders participate in 5 different categories of activities:
Outdoor Health
Cooking/Farming & Growing
Community & Social Action
Building/Crafting & Creating
Creative Movement
Each Friday, we invite parents, families, and caregivers to join us for the last 15 minutes to celebrate the week with their Shedders.
