Younger campers will get familiar with the farm, the flow of their day camp, and make connections with other campers, all with a ton of gentle support from the staff.
Each morning, Louise Omoto Kessel will work with the five to seven-year-olds with an enormous assortment of art projects, storytelling, and favorite camp games. Seven to nine-year-olds will have their own leader. In the past, this group has played cooperative games, made art – including working together on big collaborative art projects, built forts, and told interactive stories with movement. They are finalizing camp leaders now, so check back for more details on this group’s leader and activities.
In the afternoons, they’ll have “Anything Goes” choice classes with tons of fantastic activities to choose from – art, games, toy making, nature explorations, engineering projects, sensory activities, creative challenges, music, dance, and more. Morning and closing circles, buddy group check-in, and an all-camp activity will round out each day.
The cost is $350 per child. Ages 5-9 are welcome. Chatham County residents receive a $25 discount. Scholarships are available, and no one is turned away. Register here. See more events at Clapping Hands Farm.
