Program update: CLuB
Outdoor Learning is a core component of the CLuB (Community Learning in the Berkshires) program. Children in grades K-8 receive skilled assistance with school-assigned academic work and extensive, daily enrichment in science and art. They spend most of their time outside, amongst farm animals and amidst the backdrop of rolling hills on the beautiful April Hill campus in South Egremont, MA. So how do they stay warm on cool days as we head into winter?
Little bodies are kept moving with hikes, games and other physical activities. Campfires, hot water bottles and a system of propane heating vents in covered tents provide warmth during stationary times. For lunch on a chilly day, children helped harvest carrots, potatoes and onions from the garden, chopped them, added frozen peas, corn and herbs and made a nourishing soup - Yum!
