Outdoor Summer Camp: where we truly celebrate SUMMER.
We will be taking care of the garden and chickens, picking flower bouquet's, creating art, baking for birthdays, running though the sprinklers, singing and free play.
Summer Camp runs Monday-Friday, 9am-12noon and is your one-stop drop-off for children ages 2-8.
A Free Feeling, Sunny, Happy, Joyful space to enjoy all the joys of SUMMER on almost an acre of land at Miss Ashley’s Nest.

A few things to note
-
Please provide a backpack with spare clothing and a snack box, water bottle and a towel.
Please apply sunscreen on your child prior to drop off.
Bathing suits are welcome. Please have them under your child's clothing if you would like to send them in a bathing suit.
We often have a sprinkler going to keep the children cool on hot summer days.
-
Your help in dressing your child appropriately is important. What they are wearing influences their mood and their play. They need simple, practical clothing that does not interfere with climbing, running and clothing that is not too nice or special, as we often get dirty! Your child also will need sturdy outdoor shoes that fit well. As we will be spending the entire time outdoors.
-
I ask that you do not bring toys, books, or other playthings from home. Children love to exchange treasures with one another, but it is better if this activity takes place in your home, with your approval. Please be sure that the children do not bring candy, gum or treasures of any kind as this often creates kerfuffles.
