Update from Maris about
Maris' Tree House
Typically running September through Early June
Dear Parents,
I hope this finds you, your children and all your dear ones well, safe and healthy in body and spirit.
As many of you know, the Tree House school year program held its last day of classes on March 13th. I miss the children more than words can say. We do have sweet one-on-one story/share times each week (via zoom) for which I am deeply grateful. It fills my heart with joy (and some tears) to see these precious, playful, little ones who have filled my days with such delight this year. Alas, these story times do not resemble the outdoor adventures and playful indoor activities and playtime we are use to. But it keeps our hearts connected.
I have also had to make the sad decision to suspend Summer Camp plans this year.
If we discover, as summer progresses, that there is a way to safely hold a few weeks of summer camp, I will be posting to our Summer Camp page with additional information and modified schedule.
I look forward with high hopes that September will find us, once again, hiking and playing in the forests and meadows, climbing trees, picking apples, building fairy houses, sharing sweet magical, mornings together.
May we weather this storm with courage, compassion, and tender care. May we find hope and joy as we embrace the natural beauty and life giving air of our wonderful Vermont. May we find many silver linings in the midst of this storm. I wish you all well.
With Love, Peace, and Blessings,
Maris
Maris' Tree House
A Playful Nature & Arts Program For Young Children
Held September through Early June
The stunning and serene grounds of the All Souls Interfaith Gathering in Shelburne is the setting for our delightful, gently paced classes. The rolling meadows and peaceful woodlands welcome us to play and hike, to share picnics and stories beneath the trees, to go sledding and make snow angels, to watch for signs of our animal friends, to explore, study and celebrate nature and the seasons. Our light and spacious classroom overlooking the lake and mountains is designed for engaging and varied indoor activities: art and craft projects, music and drama, imaginative play with simple toys, story telling, baking & cooking, and on it goes. We emphasize kindness and gentle care toward ourselves, the earth, our families, one another and the community. The small class size of six children supports individual care and attention and ensures ample supervision.
