“Light + Love Arts Program has blown us away. Our kiddo spends the day immersed in nature, caring for plants and chickens, and running wild and free. The arts and crafts projects she comes home with are so out of this world and so beautiful. We love that she’s spending her time outside and focused on nature.”

— T., Summer Camp Parent
