Summer Camp 2015!

*6/25/15-We are offering a drop-in option for Week 2 of camp. The fee is $65 per day per child.

Christy and Amrita's Summer Camp is back! Here are the details, please feel free to share!

Christy Przystawik and Amrita Love will be co-teaching a Reggio-inspired Summer Camp this Summer 2015. Amrita Love has been teaching in India, Virginia and the DC area for over 20 years. She and Christy met while teaching at Discovery Woods Learning Community, an outdoor school in Vienna, VA. She believes that in every child lives an artist that discovers within herself or himself a myriad of creative representations. Christy is a chef and garden teacher in DC at Peabody Primary School and in Arlington, VA at Campbell Elementary School. She believes in fostering independence and creativity in children by teaching them to garden, cook, and write. The camp will be a mixed focus on gardening, eating local and seasonal foods, nature, artwork, and journaling. Music will be included every day at camp to inspire learning, movement, and relaxation. There will also be time for child-led free play. 

In addition, there will also be a one week adventure camp. For this camp Christy and Amrita will lead day trips with children via public transit. Such trips will include art exhibits, live performances, and restaurant visits. We will bring journals to sketch and write about our experiences. 

Please let Christy know if you'd like your child to attend and feel free to forward this along to friends and family. There are more details below.

Camp #1 will run Monday-Friday from 9 AM-1PM. Snack will be provided by the camp. Lunch will need to come from home.

Children will most definitely get dirty and need a change of clothes. They will also be taught how to use (children's) knives and prepare basic food for snacks and drinks for themselves and their fellow campers.

Weather permitting we will be outdoors for most of the time, both in the sun and in the shade, but we are also inclined to take breaks indoors if necessary.
