Middle Way School JOURNEY! Summer of Wonder
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Telling stories, hearing them, and creating them, we will be developing the characters that drive the action. Characters, settings, problems, and solutions, will all interact through story-prompts. We’ll have a chance to do daily journaling, getting to know our characters and how they would interact in the world, act out scenarios, and tell stories to an audience. Imaginative play, individual expression, and group collaboration work together to form a greater whole through this week-long adventure in stories and their power. Special objects—carved, adorned, and given special meaning—will help participants illuminate their unique stories, becoming touchstones to add to the magic of words and creative expression!
Middle Way School SUMMER of WONDER welcomes all children for outdoor adventures and inward exploration! Five incredible weeks feature splashing in the sun, collaborative games, wilderness skills, arts and crafts, meditation, and more! Each week is infused with the Buddhist-inspired wisdom of awareness, tools for centering oneself, creating confidence, and building community.
Customized by age group, each session also features a unique theme to allow for a deep dive into special interests—music, theater, creative writing, nature exploration, and more. Super-skills for a modern world are effortlessly woven into the day, like harmonious play, contemplative approaches to challenges, and cultivating an open heart and mind.
