We are so lucky one of our awesome EAS families owns and operates zone 3 gardens ! The apple orchard project has been in the works for months, and this week the trees went in! The summer campers have worked diligently to prepare the land for the trees, by playing in the dirt pile of course! They also helped to smooth out the dirt pile, dig holes for the trees, and construct erosion control structures on the hill behind the trees. After the trees were planted some kids got to help put up a fence around the trees! It wouldn’t be a true Ely Adventure School project if the kids weren’t involved in every step of the process. We’re excited to water the orchard and watch the trees grow! Thanks again to all the wonderful people at Zone 3 Gardens 💚

to the scrumptious raspberry/blueberry lemonade project! The kids were so excited to pick berries, squeeze lemons, make the simple syrup, muddle the berries, and of course sip on their delicious creation and product of their hard work! Us teachers certainly enjoy observing the children’s pride over their hard work and determination! As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons….🍋 😉🫐

Week eight of summer camp!

What a wild and adventurous summer session we’ve had indeed! Weeks six and seven of summer camp, mostly at Hidden Valley! We were grateful to be guests at their space, and even more grateful when we were cleared to return to the adventure school campus after almost two weeks.

The outdoor world provides a myriad of opportunities to practice locomotion. Moving up and down inclines, climbing up on top of a rock, hopping off of the rock, hanging from low branches on a tree, laying down on belly to crawl under a fallen log, and so many more opportunities. We like to joke that moving through our outdoor space is better than most gym classes. Children are excited to explore and engage with the landscape we have. Although we don’t always set up intentional obstacle courses, the environment prevents many challenges that children don’t typically face in their lives at home.
