So much of the education that takes place at Synergia and Finding the Good is experiential. Building and creating a structure, a film, a trail, a wall, a meal, or a book is one of the most valuable ways to learn. One gathers and makes all the parts, and from the parts, crafts a “whole”.

This summer, we are delighted to offer “Sustainability Camp” here at Synergia. We will be working on several building projects, such as “green” cabins using recycled paper (“papercrete”), earth, and lumber that we will mill from our land; and an earth oven for baking homemade bread and pizza.

We’ll explore local, sustainable food systems, shop at the Farmer’s Market, and cook up some delicious meals together in cooking “class” (aka, breakfast, lunch and dinner) ~ all while learning about one of our most basic needs and how best to meet that need.

To balance the project-focus, we will build teamwork and reach new heights on the challenge ropes course. In the hot afternoons, we’ll head to the river to hike, swim and relax, experiencing how to live with nature, and how to connect to one’s “place”.

Two sessions are offered:
Session I JULY 3-9 is open to ages 13-14. This session is great for recent Waldorf 8^th grade graduates.

Session II JULY 17-30 is open to ages 15and up and includes a backpacking component. This session is a good introduction for potential Finding the Good students. For more information on the Finding the Good Semester program go to: www.findingthegood.org
