DIY Nature Camp .... for Parents
Merrymeeting Adult Education will offer a unique class in July for parents and other caregivers of children stuck at home without camp options this summer.
DIY Nature Camp for Parents & Caregivers,
by Master Maine Guide Alice Bean Andrenyak is a full week of inspiration, activities, printables, and friendly guidance all in about an hour each day. Take what you learn and design your own nature camp to enjoy with the young people in your care.
"I would run an outdoor summer nature camp, but am prevented by the need to be safe during this pandemic. I thought that others might enjoy a structured week camp that could be done with their family and friends on their own schedule, "
Alice said.
