Spring & Summer 

Schedule 2018

Spring 2017, Douglas Fir tip forage and medicing making

Greetings playschool friends and families,

Its past time for me to establish and send out our annual playschool calender for the spring and summer seasons. A much procrastinated upon peice of admin work I've been slow to finish, I'm ecstatic to finally be sending it out, even in it's incomplete and imperfect state. And, I'll keep working on it. But for now, we have some dates you can put on a calendar. 

 I aim to support all of us a lot better in our planning than I was able to manage last year, giving all of you a whole lot more notice of my spring and summer travels and the dates that playschool will be on break or on an adapted schedule with guest teachers. 

Thanks for hanging with me last year and moving with me though that gargantuous learning curve together! 

This year we will establish and implement an "end of the school year" date, and our regular playschool schedule will suspend, folding into a summer break until after the Fall Equinox. During each of the months that our playschool is on summer break (July & August), we will offer one week long camp a month so that our relationships with each other can continue to be nurtured and supported through the summer, and so that we may still get time to enjoy the beauty of the season together. I will also include information, links, and invitations to various destinations and gatherings from my spring and summer schedule. All of you are invited to rondezvous, camp out, or gather with me here and there, as yer able. I'd love to see y'all, and share some of my favorite places and people with you. 

Read on for all the logistical details...

Follow the links and you'll find all the information you'd need to get yerself there. Be sure to let me know if yer planning on making it to any of these campouts, and we'll plan to camp together. I'd be happy to be a support person to any of our families or kiddos at any of the camps listed below.

Okay friends, I'm looking forward to sharing some sweet summer time moments with you, and soaking up all the sunshine and friend medicine on the way! 

Deep gratitude to all of our playschool families who support my seasonal and regenerative life ways so that I may in turn tend to and support this lovely community of kiddos and families through the year.

I am as always, profoundly grateful to know each of you and share life.
