Nature Camps with Libraries

[Jane May Jones]

Following on a newsletter item from C&NN over the winter, Magical Earth Retreats has set up its first collaborative summer day camps with our local library in Readsboro, Vermont.

This program is going to be free and will be run four Tuesdays over the summer break.

The librarian has chosen several books for us to work from.  Magical Earth Retreats is going to prepare and nature/art program for the children to do during these four days.  The program will be run entirely out of doors and all the exercises will be related to one or more of the books.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I will be putting an outline together shortly and this is a program we intend to expand to other towns and libraries in the hopes we can run these year-round.

Thank you for you input,

Jane
