“Small Things Have Big Meaning”
Despite how silly some of our weekly challenges may be, our camp sessions often involve many deeply reflective moments. Ranging from conversations about the climate crisis to personal emotions and thoughts, our Tale Tree kids take time to open up and listen to one another through creative expression.
Through poetry, songwriting, journalism, drawing, and more, our Creative Camp kids explore ideas that are bigger than themselves. They hear about big ideas that are prevalent in today’s society and have an immediate desire to not only speak up but also to learn more.
Every week, we are so excited to see what brilliance they have to share. There’s so much to be proud of in our Tale Tree kids!
