Children get to write, direct, act, and create set designs for weekly plays that the community has a chance to see on Fridays, throughout the summer! Each week is themed with important lessons to help children learn how to deal with everyday problems like cheating, lying, bullying, etc. but done through comedy.
Plus, don’t forget about all the cool bushcraft skills they learn along the way! We whittle, learn knot tying, we start campfires through friction, we use hand tools, and we build, build, build! All the structures on the nature preserve were built with the help of the children who love to build! We also have two Virginia Master Naturalists, as permanent staff, to help teach children about Virginia native flora and fauna, macrobiology, rocks & mineral study, etc. We also offer great nature crafting and superb storytelling in hammocks!
