Story-Garden Camp is in the works!

My first "Do-it-Yourself" Summer Camp curriculum will be published soon!

"Story-Garden Camp" is a 4-5 day camp that is centered on creating a miniature "Story Garden." Some may call them Fairy Gardens, but we can also create Pirate Gardens, Bear Cave Gardens, Dinosaur Gardens, and of course, just about anything a child can come up with.

Campers spend the week learning how to make mini-bricks, twig furniture and planning their garden. Without them realizing, they will learn about music, art, poetry, song, science and many other subjects. Campers finish the week with a recital for parents. Each child can choose to create and tell a story, sing a song or write and recite a poem about their garden.

Camp curricula will be available for purchase as downloadable e-book and will contain all forms needed for holding a camp, complete activities and instructions and meals to fill a 9 am - 3 pm day. A deep discount will be given to buyers who wish to be "testers" and also fill out a questionnaire and report back with comments and suggestions after holding the camp.

Be sure to check back when "Story-Garden Camp" is complete. In the meantime, watch for short blog posts on individual camp activities or issues that come up with holding your own summer day camp.
