From March 31 to April 4, coinciding with spring break for Louisville’s public schools, the Frazier will host Dreaming of Spring for students in grades 1 through 5. Each day of camp will have stories and activities related to the changing of the season. We will go outside to look for buds on trees, crocuses and daffodils rising early, and eggs patiently waiting for the perfect warm day to greet the world. We will learn about, and practice, spring traditions from around the world. And because the week of camp also includes April 1, we will get a healthy dose of well-mannered tomfoolery. Registration is open now. I hope you’ll join us.
