A do-anywhere gratitude activity, inspired by the way we slow down, notice, and follow our curiosity at camp — whether you’re at Twigg Farm or halfway across the world.
We invite high school sophomores & juniors to join for a weekend of good food, journaling, reflective conversation, drinking tea, nature walks, gentle yoga, making art, reading, and conscious slowing down. We will gather at a peaceful lakeside retreat to step away from daily life and enjoy some much deserved relaxation! This is an opportunity to disconnect from phones/social media and the stress of our fast-paced lives, and connect with peers in a meaningful setting.
Join A Week of Noticing Nature!
Wherever you are, take a moment to slow down, observe, and connect with the natural world around you. We’re inviting kids (and grown-ups!) to find a “sit spot” in nature—a place you can return to each day for a week to simply sit, breathe, listen, and notice the little changes happening around you.
Let’s explore together and see what nature has to show us! Learn more and join here.
