LeafSpring School at Charter Colony

Show and Tell is an excellent way to build leadership skills in our kiddos. It gives children the chance to practice public speaking, describe objects with confidence, and share something meaningful with their friends.

Why have face painting when you can explore the art and culture of henna?

Today, our Village welcomed a henna artist, Colleen Heller, as part of our Big Top celebration, giving our older kiddos a chance to learn about traditional design, pattern work, and artistic expression.

Experiences like this build cultural awareness, creativity, and appreciation for diverse art forms — all while ending our Big Top fun with something beautifully unique.

Congratulations to this weeks Camper's of the Week. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our week.

As part of building our camp community, our kiddos learn to work together to take care of their Village. This includes helping with sweeping, clearing tables, and tidying up our spaces before we move on to more fun.

These simple routines teach our Campers responsibility, teamwork, and pride in caring for the place they share.

Waterplay encourages big, confident movement.
Running through sprinklers, jumping over puddles, and carrying water tools help our kiddos grow strong and self‑assured.

Jester mask‑making strengthens executive functioning skills.

Our older kids plan their designs, sequence steps, manage materials, and problem‑solve as they work — all essential skills for confident, independent learners.

Waterplay is an early STEM experience.

Children experiment with volume, cause‑and‑effect, and problem‑solving — all while having the best time splashing with friends.

Waterplay supports development through fine‑motor practice.

Scooping, squeezing, and pouring help strengthen the small muscles children use for writing, feeding, and self‑help skills.
