Concept

Experience the Season of Change

Spring is a time of renewal. Light softens, the wind shifts, and the colors of the sea change little by little.

Children observe, question, and express what they feel through direct encounters with nature.

Not taught — discovered.

Spring Explorers is a quiet retreat before the new school year. Two weeks of experiencing the season of change through all five senses.
