GROW Outdoor Adventures Walkers-5 yrs SERIES OF CLASSES
May 3, 2023 June 28, 2023

Families with walkers/movers-5 yrs: Join us to build your village, bring kids together and find support among other families in an outdoor environment. As parents and caregivers, we've often wished that kid programming allowed more time and space for adult bonding, conversation and connection. GROW Outdoor Adventures has blossomed from that need and desire!

Morning agenda: 

We will meet at the entrance to Red Rocks park in South Burlington and hike together at an adult led pace (please bring carriers or strollers for kiddos, our path is stroller friendly) and then gather at our special base camp for our morning programming. We will circle up to sing songs and learn breathing and mindfulness techniques to help kids and grownups alike find calm. Then we will each settle in for a snack brought from home and while we’re snacking everyone will have an opportunity to share and get support about what’s happening at home. After our circle time we will have a chance for the kiddos to explore the woods and natural surroundings while adults practice silently observing and mindfulness techniques. We will close with a song and then we will hike back together. 

Expect friendship, community and support as we work together to parent in this challenging time. GROW Outdoor Adventures will happen  - we will be in touch via email with more details about suggested clothing and gear before the first class. There is a small gazebo for our circle gathering if it is drizzling, but otherwise we will be hiking and exploring no matter the weather. If the weather is calling for downpours we will hold class inside our studio at 696 Pine Street.
