We'll explore how they helped their families in their day to day living, while utilizing the beautiful grounds of The Country School garden and surrounding woods where the children may spend time collecting natural items to create their own old fashioned games. Each day will be devoted to learning and playing different Colonial games - all while enjoying the outdoors and remaining safe and socially distant.

Each camper will have the chance to craft a short story or lay out a picture book as a longer project. Kids will become comfortable sharing their work with a supportive, immediate audience and will benefit from collaboration and feedback from their peers. Far from being a static, in-your-seat experience, young writers should come prepared for outdoor exploration and observation, candy taste-tests, dance parties, yoga, and more! Come join us and learn just how much fun playing with words can be!

She will also have the kids participate in open ended arts and crafts that will lead to a better understanding of the language and the many cultures of the people who speak it.
