Goodbye Summer Activities - Hello, Fall!

ASPI's FB page is alive with images from the Toodle Langa camps - two with a focus on recycled art and one Zombie camp - held at the ASPI Rockcastle Wilderness Site.  Toodle Langa's founders, Christina and Darren, wanted to give kids a real camp experience, tents, composting toilets, outdoors!  It was lovely - even through the torrential downpours of two camps, food was cooked, friendships forged, art created.  ASPI is excited to work with Toodle Langa for some weekend camps and workshops - the two October camps are Wilderness Art and Zombie Survival (Just in time for Halloween)!  See the Toodle Langa Website for more information and registration.

The MASH camp from the Rockcastle County Hospital visited - 20 middle school students.  We hunted for arthropods, tested pH, and hiked!  The picture above is the campers on the footbridge of the Michael Zalla Trail.  Everyone who disparages the state known as "Middle School" should meet these kids.   

We hosted the Boy Scouts - who shored up and created part of our new Solar System Trail, working on their Trail Blazing badges.  A day care group stopped by for a hike and some bug-catching fun!

Besides the Toodle Langa camps, we have visitors from the National Challenge Academy and Notre Dame Service Learning programs scheduled for this fall - and our Harvest Festival.  The Harvest Festival is open to public and all participants of all of the ASPI programs.  There will be food, games, and fun - October 18, 2:00-4:00.

The Rockcastle Wilderness Homeschool  schedule will be published soon.

What other programs would you like to see at the Site?  Our new listings of school field trips is here.  Share with teachers you know!

I am happy to see that more and more people are choosing to join different camps, especially summer camps that offer several activities. It is good to know that there are entities opening their doors for those who are in need of activities that can feed their soul. Too bad because they cannot do it anymore because fall season is about to come. Of course, it is our time to focus on school activities once again. The only thing we can do is to wait for summer season once again!
