Unless otherwise noted, families will be responsible for gathering the following supplies. You will notice that some classes have overlapping supplies. When this happens (pencil sharpener, for example), you only need to provide one for the child. Participants can use their existing nature journals for class, or existing commonplaces for Shakespeare or Plutarch.

General Supplies
General Supplies
Blanket / Cushion / Low Chair - for participants to sit and work on. Older children may prefer to bring a camp chair, instead. Guardians generally want a chair, too.
Food and Drink - Pack water for physical activities, such as nature walk, game time, or Swedish drill. Kids usually eat a snack at break and a meal at lunch. Be sure you pack food for both. You will also want any other picnic items, such as napkins or utensils.
Grocery bag - one for each participant. You will need the bag to clean up after yourself at each gathering. For FEAST days, each participant will need to fill one grocery bag up during our clean up service.
First aid kit, sun block and bug spray - We are outside the entire time. It's best to be prepared.
