2016 was our 15th year of summer yoga camps in which children learned the value of peaceful encounters with other people, animals, elements, the environment and perhaps most importantly, themselves. I cannot thank the youth volunteers and Melody, enough. They brought so much to this year's camp experience for all of the children from helping create a yoga magazine the first week to the mandalas, eye pillows, enchanted castles and so much more week after week. They truly were a great source of inspiration for all of us. And yet the simplicity of finding inner joy in our green space where nature meets child and helps him/her find that place of deep stirring…the love of life, the passion for being, as well as the quiet, the still, the listening, the calm…a place where children are expected just to be children without the pressures society relentlessly imposes, was never lost or compromised. In fact we added 3 specialty camps this year with great success. The first Family Crafting Calm introduced fun calming crafts and reminded us of the power of love. The 2nd, a fabulous Teen Retreat day, culminated with Henna Art by the very talented Anita. A School Readiness Family Crafting Calm was designed specifically to assist children transition into  new situations with confidence and life skills. Thank you to all of the children, their supportive parents and this summer's assistants, Mia, Amber, Avery, Katie, Anje, Mia (another one!), Hannah, Ella, Grace and Bridget. You are the leaders of the future.

WEDNESDAY JULY 6: 1-4 NEW SPACES HAVE JUST OPENED UP FOR THIS ONE HALF DAY EVENT!
FAMILY CRAFTING CALM: THE VIBRATION STATION
Come, play and learn along with your child. Energy and vibrations are everywhere. Feel, see, hear and play with life force energy, singing bowls, crystals, talking sticks, messages in water and more. We are magical, magnetic, powerful beings. Spend the afternoon playing yoga, making crafts, and doing activities to encourage a better understanding of how we 'can be the change' we wish to see. This is an event suitable for ages 3 and up but because of the ages showing interest, I would suggest 8 and under.
1 adult + 1 child= $30
1 adult + 2 children= $50
