Camp Little Feet, a camping program for toddlers and parents.
In the same way that Camp Wonder came into being, the creation
of Camp Little Feet is a response to parents who wish there was
a nature based sensory awareness experience for their toddlers,
ages 2 1/2 to 4. In keeping with NC's philosophy, Camp Little Feet
encourages families to be at Nature Camps as much as possible.
Early childhood outdoor educators will take toddlers, with an accompanying
parent, on remarkable adventures in the woods, fields, streams,
swimming pool, toddler swings, and more!
Camp Little Feet will be a morning program. Parents will have
the option of staying the whole day, as they wait for their older
children to return from their NC adventures. In addition to parent-toddler
nature experiences, parents will have time to be with other parents
while their toddlers are resting.
It is a delight to create an atmosphere in which parents can be
with other parents, on the porch swings, around the sand box, at
the shallow end of the pool, and in a cozy spot nearby in the woods,
having their own time -- either watching their youngest children,
knowing they are in the hands of experienced early childhood outdoor
educators.
Camp Little Feet meets Mon., Wed., and Friday, 9:15 - 11:30 a.m. With a Parent & Toddler Picnic on the last day of each session, ending about 12:30 PM.
In Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman wrote:
There Was a Child Went Forth
There was a child every day;
And the first object he look'd upon,
that object he became; And that
object became part of him for the day,
or a certain part of the day, or for many
years, or stretching cycles of years.
- Walt Whitman
