When:

Repeats every day until Sat Aug 01 2009 .

Jul 28 2009 - 10:00am - 4:00pm

Jul 29 2009 - 10:00am - 4:00pm

This summer TLC Farm will be hosting a special program for girls on their journey to becoming young women. Moon Blossom is a rite of passage designed for girls ages 9-14. The girls will be engaged in self-discovery through crafting, making music, working in the garden, hiking, cooking, and exploring tools to build self esteem. Within a positive, girl-focused community, we will connect with the natural world, and consider what it means to be coming of age as a woman in today's world.

We will gather in the beautiful outdoors daily 10-4pm Tues-Thurs, Friday overnight and we end with the parents joining us on Saturday noon-2pm.

hike outdoors
make spirit dolls
make plant medicine
play music in drum circle
hold girls council
storytelling around campfire

and more!

Camp Dates:

July 27-31 ages: 11-14 (sign up by July 1st)
Aug 24-28 ages: 9-12 (sign up by Aug 1st)
