For one week Hannah attended Wild Rose Summer Camp. She loved it. The best part: being able to hang out with her buddy, all day, for five days in a row. Every morning the campers marched across this lovely hay field up to camp.
Wild Rose Camp is also known as "the hippie camp". This is an affectionate term used by parents around town. In this picture Evelyn checks out the frog. Yep, the kids built this frog oven out of dirt. After they ground their own grain and made the bread, they baked it in their own oven . The rolls were served to us parents on the last afternoon of camp.
Wild Rose Camp focuses on crafts. Check out the tie-dye T-shirt Hannah is wearing and the Batik cloth she dyed.
Among the other craft activities include felting, pottery, making paper, marbling on paper, and dyeing silk with natural dyes. Other activities incuded shadow puppets, string games, singing and also playing in the mud.
Did I mention the gigantic puppet show?

The Wild Rose Campers age 5-8. Between Woodriver Elementary school and the Junior Nordic ski club Hannah and I already knew about 3/4 of the campers. Fairbanks is a small town.
We have a sand box on the deck and Evie spends a lot of time being busy. Sometimes she plays in the box first thing, still in her PJ's. Pouring rain outside? No worries since Dad built a nice roof over the deck. Robin's hard work last summer, ripping down the old deck, designing and then building the new deck is paying off now. We spend lots of time playing and eating on the deck. Our outside room.
