Help us cook up a heap o' tasty grub, squeeze some lemonade, milk the goats, make butter, collect the eggs, and even scrub some clothes on the washboard. Lots of fun farm themed arts & crafts, games, and outdoor play. We'll also be busy in the garden and talking about where our food comes from.
Plus
on Friday July 1st we'll take a pioneer
walk to the nearby prairie reserve to have an early
“4th of July” style picnic on the grass.
Campers can take turns pulling the wagon full of
goodies and get pony rides in our mini covered wagon
pulled by mini pony Cookie. Y'all come
play! Walking field trip to the Soquel Prairie Reserve on Friday July 1st. |

MORE
Fairy Tales: Ancient Greek Heroes & Legends |
|
Get ready for ancient
Greek themed action & imagination, arts & crafts,
cooking, theater, stories and more as
we step into our time machine and go back even
further in time in search of the fun and exciting
fairy tales of Ancient Greece! Perseus and the
Minotaur... Zeus and the Titans, Pegasus & Theseus,
Odyseus and his brave crew -- these are the tales so
juicy that people were still telling and re-telling
them 3,000 years later! PLUS did you know that it
was the Ancient Greeks who gave us our first
stories of fairies, mermaids, unicorns, and other
mythical beasts? It's true! ![]() So be sure to join us as we outwit the Minotaur, play and pretend, try our hand at archery and sword play, build a take-home Trojan Horse or catapult, make delicious tzatziki and baklava, try on a tunic or toga, make a Greek alphabet necklace of our name, and decorate our own "Ancient Greek" pottery. And of course, we MUST go on a Quest or two! When we're not out adventuring, playing dress up, reliving Greek myths and fables on the stage, crafting at the outdoor art table, or snacking on tasty Greek food, we'll try our hand at growing and harvesting, just like the goddess Demeter. We may even muck out the pony stables like Hercules. And then with inspiration from Arachne and Athena, we'll do some fun weaving with natural items gathered while out questing. (Psst! We'll even learn a little bit along the way about the Ancient Greek way of life.) |

Sharks, Mermaids, & Pirates
Ahoy there! Mermaids, pirates, and other sea
denizens can join us for sushi making, shark lore,
arts & crafts and
lots more ocean themed fun and learning. Our very
own docent from the Seymour Center will be on hand
here at Little Garden Patch to help answer our
burning questions about sharks and other creatures
of the deep. We'll have a whale of a good time
so don't forget a change of clothes because things
are sure to get wet around here. |
