SEACOAST WALDORF SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAM 2017
BACKYARD FUN
At Seacoast Waldorf School’s Summer Program children experience old time backyard fun...the way summers used to be. Let your child sing, dig, climb, build, splash and play, play, play!
This summer we are offering six weeks of joyful outdoor play in our beautiful play grounds and surrounding woods.
Geared for children ages 3-10, activities may include making lemonade and ice cream, creating an outdoor summer theatre, woodland walks, sewing, knitting, felting, drawing, painting, tie dying and mask making and much more.
These activities tie into our theme of the week and are offered in a relaxed setting with lots of time carved out for outdoor creative play and water activities to stay cool. Our 5 acres of meadow, woods and playground are the perfect setting for children to spend their summer days.
