Beyond the Basics COMMUNITY WIDE SURVIVE AND THRIVE DAY#1. 10-19
Come join our experiential learning adventure without a weekly commitment! This is a day of Challenges, outdoor recreation and community for all! A Core Group of 16 Kids meets weekly at Maine Forest Yurts for a small group experiential science adventure.. On Survive and Thrive Days we invite everyone to come experience the fun of our Challenge theme: emphasis on developing out of the box thinking, creativity, and getting experience facing all kinds of challenges.
It will be a mixture of Survivor and survival challenges and some just spontaneous ones like nothing else! Adults and kids over 8 can take part in the challenges, though under 11 will definitely need support by a parent. Some challenges are individual others involve teamwork. Pick the ones you want to do and or watch. All are intended to build self confidence, creative thinking and problem solving. All will be approached with a learning intent, discussing what we noticed worked and didn't... And trying again. This method builds all our skills!
In addition, there will be an hour for recreation on site, to just enjoy the outdoors.
We will be collecting your ideas for the next Community Day, Nov 23, so make your wishlist!
Please bring picnic lunches, good footwear, change of clothes, towel (getting wet is optional), your favorite fire making gear if you have some. It is a bit of a hike on a path to challenges site, so jogging stroller if you are bringing a little one is a good idea. Folding chairs, kayaks, and sunscreen are lovely luxury items you might consider.
At Maine Forest Yurts in Durham Maine, just 30 minutes from Portland.
Kids tickets $25 age 8 and up. This includes the required adult that will accompany them. Younger sibs are free to come wander the 100 acres with a parent and watch the shenanigans! Extra adult guests or those staying with youngers please click "extra adult ticket" link for your ticket. (we believe you will have a grand time, too and this covers our extra expenditures to make this friendly to multiage families.). Can't wait to see you!
