Heart Lesson Explored
Each day, we’ll delve into the concept of Trail Angels, inspired by Dr. Lisa Miller’s groundbreaking work on neuroscience and thriving.
Trail Angels are those unexpected helpers who bring guidance, compassion, or connection when we need it most. By learning to recognize and embrace these moments, kids can develop a sense of belonging to a loving, supportive universe. This lesson nurtures emotional intelligence, gratitude, and resilience—gifts they’ll carry throughout their lives.
Daily Schedule
🌟 Day One: Enchanted Story Walk
Begin with a magical fairy tale to set the stage and a scavenger walk to John’s Park, making fairy houses along the trail. Explore the stream, engage in imaginative play.
🌟 Day Two: Surprises and Fairy Houses
Visit the park to discover what the fairies have left behind and return to my home garden to design and build fairy houses using natural materials and an annual plant of choosing. Dress and tea party to finish our day.
🌟Day Three: Dress-up and Magical Tea Party
Start the day in the woods to play and explore, then head to my home for a fun dress-up session complete with a magical tea party in the garden. The day ends with a creative activity, where the children can craft their own fairy crowns or wands to take home as a special keepsake.
P.S. Please keep the details of each day a surprise for your little ones—this camp is all about letting their imaginations run free!
