The Best Kind of Summer Fun!
At Meadow Creek, we really want to give our kids the kind of summer we all remember growing up. The ones filled with endless tag, messy art projects, picking flowers, and running around until our legs tire out, always ending the day with a popsicles.
Last week, our campers dove into a massive collaborative art project. They learned how to make handmade paper completely from scratch using discarded paper scraps. With Ms. Lindsay there to guide them, the kids took total creative control, designing their own wildflower seed paper, bowls, and bookmarks.
We also experimented with Tataki-zome, a Japanese technique for transferring plant pigments onto fabric. The kids gathered flowers from our recess yard and had an absolute blast hammering the vibrant petals and leaves onto their cloth. It was easily one of our favorite weeks yet!
We also hosted our second Parents' Night Out, which has become such a special event for our community. It’s a night dedicated entirely to unstructured, free play. Last Saturday, the kids played freeze tag outside, had a glow dance party indoors, crafted glow-in-the-dark friendship bracelets, and wrapped things up with a massive game of hide-and-seek throughout the school. Ms. Carla even introduced a game from her own childhood called "Sardines," which was a total hit.
They all went home happy and exhausted; exactly how summer should be.
Want to join the fun? We still have spots available in our remaining summer camps. If you're looking for a place where your child is free to run, explore, and make a mess, we’d love to have them! Register for summer camps here:
